Iran Press/America: When asked if he thought he would need to take military action, Donald Trump said: “There’s always a chance. Do I want to? No. I’d rather not. But there’s always a chance.”
“So Iran is a place that was extremely hostile when I first came into office, they were a terrorist nation number one in the world at that time and probably maybe are today,” Trump told British television station TV according to Reuters.
He said, when asked, that he was prepared to talk to Rouhani: “Yeah of course. I would much rather talk.”
Recalling contradictions in US government behaviour, Iran's First Vice President Es'haq Jahangiri said recently that when they threaten and send warships as well as the times when they speak of talks, we send them the message: “We can make the enemy bow to the great nation of Iran through reliance on local capacities and policies set by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.”

Also on May 28 responding to Washington’s repeated assertions that it would prevent Iran from attaining a nuclear weapon, Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif tweeted that “Ayatollah Khamenei long ago said we're not seeking nuclear weapons—by issuing a fatwa (edict) banning them.”
The Senior diplomat added, “B-Team's Economic Terrorism is hurting the Iranian people and causing tension in the region. Actions—not words—will show whether or not that's Donald Trump's intent.”
In late April, Zarif identified the B-Team as US National Security Advisor John Bolton, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. The US has been pursuing a policy of 'maximum pressure' against Iran under president Trump, and John Bolton is acting as Trump's top security aide. 101/201
