Tehran: US must change behavior towards Iran; shift in tone not enough
Tehran (KNA) - Tehran says it pays little attention to the change in US President Donald Trump’s rhetoric on Iran, and that it will not hold talks with Washington until it also changes its behavior towards the Islamic Republic.
In early May, the Trump administration announced plans to build up Washington's military presence in the Middle East to counter unspecified Iranian "threats," shortly after toughening oil sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
However, in parallel with his belligerent policies, Trump has, on several occasions in the past weeks, offered to hold talks with Iran.
During a visit to Japan on Monday, Trump used a more conciliatory tone, saying the US was not seeking a regime change in Iran and repeating the offer of negotiations.
