Trump says ready to meet with Iranian leader after G7 diplomacy
2019-08-27
[DAWN] US President Donald Trump
...the Nailer of NAFTA...
 said he was prepared to meet his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani
...Iran's moderate president, which he is, relative to his predecessor, which doesn't mean he's anything but a puppet of the nearest holy man...
 in the next few weeks after talks over Tehran's nuclear programme at a G7 summit in La Belle France.

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif made a surprise appearance on the sidelines of the summit in Biarritz on Sunday at the invitation of French President Emmanuel Macron.

Macron said that the "conditions for a meeting" between Trump and Rouhani to take place "in the next few weeks" had been created through intensive diplomacy and consultations.

"If the circumstances were correct, I would certainly agree to that," Trump said at a joint presser with Macron.

Asked by news hounds if he thought the timeline proposed by his French counterpart sounded realistic, Trump replied: "It does", adding that he thought Rouhani would also be in favour.

"I think he's going to want to meet. I think Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
wants to get this situation straightened out," Trump added.

Trump has put in place a policy of "maximum pressure" on Tehran over its disputed nuclear programme via crippling sanctions that are seen as raising the risk of conflict in the Middle East.

#2  Agreed, Dron. There always seems to be an 'secondary issue' when things are too easy to acquire.

"Bought this 2017 F150 for $200!"
"Where's the motor?"

#1  I don't have a good feeling about this. Iran seems too eager for a compromise.
