According to Fox News, Abbas Araghchi harshly criticized the United States, accusing it of treating sensitive nuclear negotiations as if they were simply a business deal.
The Iranian foreign minister contended that this mindset undermines the seriousness and intricacy of the diplomatic talks concerning Tehran’s nuclear program.
He specifically targeted Donald Trump, asserting that the American president had not followed diplomatic norms and had disappointed US voters.
Araghchi reiterated his earlier position that any escalation, including the loss of lives on either the American or Iranian side, falls on those he labeled as “Israel Firsters.”
In a post on X, Araghchi remarked, “When complex nuclear negotiations are treated like a real estate transaction, and when major falsehoods cloud the truth, unrealistic expectations will never be met. The outcome? The negotiation process is undermined out of bitterness. Mr. Trump has betrayed both diplomacy and the American voters who supported him.”
His remarks reflect considerable frustration in Tehran regarding the nature and tone of its interactions with Washington.
In response, Trump defended his administration’s strategy, describing Iran’s leadership in very harsh terms.
During a news conference on Tuesday night (local time), he labeled the Islamist regime as “crazy people” and claimed that they would have used nuclear weapons if they possessed them.
“If we didn’t do what we’re doing right now, you would’ve had a nuclear war and they would’ve taken out many countries because you know what? They’re sick people. They’re mentally ill, sick people. They’re angry. They’re crazy. They’re sick. These people are crazy — and if they had a nuclear weapon, they would’ve used it,” Trump stated.
The heated exchange underscores the widening rhetorical divide between Tehran and Washington, with both sides trading accusations amid persistent tensions over Iran’s nuclear ambitions, which continue to overshadow diplomatic talks….See More
