Iran Press/Iran news: "US president mentioned his willingness to have a dialogue with Iran during the past several days," Mike Pompeo said by repeating his claims against Iran.
"When Iranians come to the conclusion to behave like a normal country we would definitely be ready to have the dialogue," US Secretary of State noted.
This is despite the fact that about one year ago and after US withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Pompeo mentioned 12 conditions including the end of Iran's nuclear program, the country's missile program and also the end of Iran's support for the resistance movement in the region.
On that time, Trump hoped that by withdrawing from the nuclear deal and with threatening to reinstall the sanctions against Iran, the Islamic republic would be forced to have the widespread nuclear and non-nuclear negotiations with Washington.
Iran not having dialogue under pressures and threats
Meanwhile, one-year resistance against US utmost pressure has shown that the Islamic republic would not bend to have a dialogue with an unreliable country like the US under pressures and threats.
Bringing Iran's oil exports to zero, putting Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) into US terrorist groups' list, sending the aircraft carrier and B-52 bombers to the region are policies that the US put on its agenda, now Washington has only two cards in its hands; starting a war with Iran or offering to have respectful dialogue with Tehran.

Meanwhile, even the most anti-Iran movement in the US warned about the great political, economic and security consequences of military attack to Iran.
Also, Trump himself has said several times that the US does not pursue military confrontation with Iran.
Warning about war with Iran has gone as far as GOP Senator Richard Black's letter to Trump.
"American people are tired of war, and the people do not support starting a war with Iran. I am worried that if we start a war with Iran the Republican Party would suffer a historic loss in the 2020 election," the US Senator said.
The US officials considered the talks about unwise war with Iran and also saw the country's resistance against the threats, so they changed their tune towards Iran to find a solution for the self-created crisis.
Shinzo Abe visit to Iran
Trump's positive reaction to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's visit to Iran should be considered in this regard.
Some media outlets reported that the goal of Abe's visit is to play a mediator role between Iran and the US.
Iran insisted on not having any dialogue under pressure several times, so it seems that Trump's administration at least by changing its' tune try to communicate with Iran more vigilantly.
Meanwhile, the important point to mention about the current crisis is the change in US official's actions not in their tunes.
In other words, there will be no chance for Pompeo's dialogue with Iran till Trump reconsiders his policy of utmost pressure against Iran.201/215
