Noam Chomsky: The words “Trump” and “reliable” do not belong in the same sentence, But Trump is unpredictable

In this week many of the world's leaders will meet each others at the UN headquarters for 73rd UN General Assembly. Some days ago, Iran's president arrived in New York for the United Nations General Assembly, where, he says, the Islamic Republic intends to make a point of adverting to the US's violations and defining Tehran's regional and international policies.

Now, the question is whether the presidents of Iran and the US will meet each other on the sidelines of this summit or not?

Many believe that Iran has faced many economic problems after the US withdrawal from JCPOA and when the sanctions have been re-imposed.

Some experts think that these problems will be intensified as a new round of sanctions begin, and especially the start of oil sanctions against Iran. President Donald Trump has said he is ready to negotiate with Iranian officials.

In this case, some experts believe that Iran should re-negotiate with the United States to solve the economic troubles, and the UN General Assembly is the best place for this action. On the other hand, others find it wrong because the United States is the country that has violated the nuclear treaty which is an international agreement. It is clear that such a country is not trustworthy.

we have had an interview with Professor Noam Chomsky, famous American philosopher and social critic. Chomsky considers Iran's negotiation with Trump as one of the mistakes of Iran.

"The words "Trump" and "reliable" do not belong in the same sentence. But Trump is unpredictable." Chomsky says.

We asked Professor Chomsky about Iran's suitable foreign policy to solve the economic problems. "What should Iran do in the field of foreign policy in order not to be under international pressure and not to lose its dignity and interests?" We asked.

"Trump aside, those close to him are clearly hoping that Iran will react to their undermining of the JCPOA by some actions that can be used as a pretext for even harsher sanctions or other punishment of Iran -- support for terrorism and possibly even military assault." He answered.

Professor Chomsky then explained his idea about the best foreign policy of Iran. "The sensible policy for Iranian leaders would be to maintain the most respectable diplomatic posture despite the extreme provocations and to try to gain support from other governments and international opinion, so that the US and its reactionary allies will be more isolated in the international arena. Not an easy course, but I cannot think of a better one." Professor Chomsky answered.
