Trump’s Iran claims have nothing to do with reality: Pundit
An academic believes US President Donald Trump’s speech shows the way by which American leaders use all sorts of different “incoherent arguments” and “make claims that have nothing to do with reality.”
“What Trump has said may seem outrageous now for some people, but the fact is that this is what the United States has been saying in their media on CNN, The New York Times or The Washington Post for decades. This is the sort of nonsense that I am sure many Americans when they hear it, they believe it because it falls within the narrative. So this is important for people to remember that this is nothing new,” Mohammad Marandi, a professor at the University of Tehran, told Press TV in an interview on Friday.
Marandi further noted what is important is that the United States has to make a decision on whether it accepts the framework of the nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), or not.
He added that if Washington decides to “effectively" quit the nuclear deal and re-impose sanctions on Iran, the agreement will come to an end.
On the other hand, he stated, if the European Union is “serious” about continuing trade with Iran, it should make a stand because the United States will “intimidate” the bloc’s businesses.
However, he said, Iran is not concerned about the US quitting the agreement, adding that if Washington wants it that way, the Islamic Republic will "restart" its nuclear program.
