Diplomacy: Iran’s guide: Problems with USA under Trump “insoluble”

Iran’s top guide Ajatollah Ali Chamenei excludes a political agreement with the United States under Donald Trump because the problems with the US president are insoluble. As before, it is no longer about assumptions – such as the support of terrorism or the violation of human rights – but now is the talk of obedience and capitulation. “The Iranian people will oppose this hideous demand with all determination,” said Chamenei on state television.

In addition, Trump “stormed” Israel, supporting Iran to attack Iran in order to force a political change. But both sides were surprised that the country defended itself “so dignified”, said the cleric, who, according to the constitution, was the last word in all strategic matters.

Since the Israeli attacks on strategic goals in Iran, Chameni has rarely been shown in public. It was assumed that he had hidden in a bunker for fear of an Israeli assassination attempt. Although large parts of the country, including important nuclear and military facilities, had been severely damaged or even destroyed by Israeli forces in the Juni War, he and the Iranian government claim to have gained war.

Nuclear negotiations with the USA

Because of his absence, it was also unclear how he was on the heated discussions of the past few weeks about the resumption of nuclear negotiations with the United States. The reformers in the country – including President Massud Peseschkian and his government – do not rule out a continuation of the talks with the USA. The hardliners in parliament are strictly against it. According to observers, Chamenei is not fundamentally against negotiations, but not under Trump’s conditions.

If the nuclear negotiations are not resumed, Iran threatens sanctions that could exacerbate the already desolate economic situation of the oil -rich country. In addition, a renewed military strike of Israel is feared. In addition, the government in Tehran is fighting with a lack of energy and water, which, according to observers, could even lead to inner unrest.
