Iran: Trump’s call for negotiations ‘publicity stunt’ – FM Zarif

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif questioned Washington’s trustworthiness in its approach to Iran, calling US President Donald Trump’s recent call for negotiations a “publicity stunt.” He made the statement when speaking to the press following a cabinet meeting in Tehran on Wednesday. “The Americans were never honest in this sphere. Mr [Donald] Trump’s move was a publicity stunt. One factor that can prove Trump’s total lack of concern for the Iranian people and international commitments is that the first batch of sanctions that Trump reinstated against Iran was related to aviation industry, that is, even prior to August 6 when the first wave of sanctions was re-imposed, the first thing the Office of Foreign Assets Control [OFAC] did was to revoke the licenses of 200 airplanes, which the people of Iran were going to use,” said Zarif.

Strange alliances or perhaps not so strange afterall

Associated Press has uncovered the very close relationship between Saudi and Emirati forces and Al Qaeda in Yemen. It appears instead of fighting Al Qaeda, as Riyadh and its backers in Washington claim, the Saudis and the Emiratis have been handing out a lot of cash and weapons for some terrorists to join their ranks and fight with them against the Yemenis.
