Region I and Tehran

week: Tehran says it has no interest in talking to the US administration, which has imposed tough sanctions on the country over its nuclear programme and last week sent 1,500 troops to the region, according to The Guardian. I know that the prime minister and Japan have a very good relationship with Iran so we'll see what happens, Trump, who has offered Tehran direct talks, told reporters before a working lunch with Abe. Speaking at a press conference on the penultimate day of his state visit to Japan, Trump also gave his backing to Abe's attempts to set up a first summit, without preconditions, with the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, hours after the regime described the US president's national security adviser, John Bolton, as a warmonger. Trump, who became the first world leader to meet Japan's new emperor, Naruhito, on Monday, added The prime minister has already spoken to me about that and I do believe that Iran would like to talk. We'll see what happens nobody wants to see terrible things happen, especially me. And if they would like to talk, we would like to talk also. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
