## Iran Says It Won't Negotiate With 'Erratic' Trump After Genocidal Threat to 'Blow Up' Whole Country

Authored by commondreams.org

Iran says it has no plans to negotiate with the US after President Donald Trump said Sunday that "the whole country is going to get blown up" if Iran refuses to make a deal.

But Iran’s official IRNA news agency later reported that claims Iran was coming to negotiate were “not true" and described the announcement as “a media game and part of the blame game to pressure Iran.”.

IRNA added that negotiators decided not to return because of "Washington’s excessive demands, unrealistic expectations, constant shifts in stance, repeated contradictions, and the ongoing naval blockade.".

“Our assessment is that Trump effectively lacks both a coherent plan and the capacity to secure even a temporary agreement,” the official said.

Even before Trump made more such threats Sunday morning, Iran had not yet agreed to another round of talks.

“The Islamabad negotiations provided President Trump with an appropriate opportunity to exit the war,” the official added.

"Due to poor discipline, Trump ends up prioritizing the optics of victory over actually getting a deal," Parsi said. »
