US President Trump insisted on the 20th that Iran will negotiate.
In a telephone interview with US media, he said: “They will negotiate. If they don’t negotiate, they will see problems like never before.”
He pointed out that he hopes that the US and Iran can achieve a fair agreement, while emphasizing that Iran will not possess nuclear weapons.
Trump once again defended launching military action against Iran, claiming there was no choice and it had to be done.
He also said: “We will get this matter settled, and everyone will be satisfied.”
In addition, Trump stated that if the US and Iran cannot reach an agreement before the temporary ceasefire expires, it is extremely unlikely that the two-period extension of the ceasefire will happen.
He said that the ceasefire agreement announced on the 7th will expire on the night of the 22nd Washington time.
He stated that before an agreement is reached, the US will not stop the maritime blockade against Iran.
The US Tries to Turn the Negotiating Table into a “Surrender Table”
On the 21st, Iranian Parliamentary Speaker Kalibaf stated that US President Trump is trying to turn the negotiating table into a “surrender table” or look for an excuse to foment war again by means of blockade and violating the ceasefire agreement, but Iran will not accept coercion.
In a post on social media, he emphasized that Iran will not accept negotiations carried out under the shadow of threats and is ready to play new cards on the battlefield.
