Washington is willing to speak with Iran "with no preconditions", US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Sunday, but Iran dismissed the offer as "word-play"."Jedi Mind Tricks!"
"We are prepared to engage in a conversation with no preconditions. We are ready to sit down with them," Pompeo told a joint news conference in Switzerland
...home of the Helvetians, famous for cheese, watches, yodeling, and William Tell...with Swiss Foreign Minister Ignazio Cassis.
"The American effort to fundamentally reverse the malign activity of this Islamic Theocratic
Republic, this revolutionary force, is going to continue," Pompeo added.
Iran's foreign ministry front man Abbas Mousavi responded by saying: "The Islamic Theocratic
Republicof Iran does not pay attention to word-play and expression of hidden agenda in new forms."
Meanwhile,
...back at the abandoned silver mine, the water was up to Jack's neck and still rising. And then he smelled the smoke...
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani presented the offer of talks with no pre-conditions as a sign of Iran's strength.
