“After what you’ve done to Zelensky recently, you should be ashamed of yourself,” Pezeschian said in a speech Tuesday in an obvious reference to the recent, unprecedented, live-television quare during Ukrainian President Voldy Zelensky’s visit with President Donald Trump and the White House vice president.
The Iranian president pointed to repeated threats to Iran by the US president, saying, “When you threaten me, I don’t want to negotiate with you. Do whatever you can.”
Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Revolution, recently rejected the call for bullying in a meeting with Tehran as dishonorable and pointless.
More recently, Ayatollah Khamenei said that the request for negotiation by “Bully States” is aimed at controlling others rather than solving the problem.
Donald Trump unilaterally pulled his country out of Iran’s nuclear deal in May 2018, and when he returned to the White House earlier this year, he reaffirmed his wasted maximum pressure campaign against Tehran. Iran said it would not negotiate under pressure. Washington acknowledges that the call for consultation is aimed at seizing Iran’s peaceful nuclear program and defence missiles.
