Iran “wants to make a deal, but I am not satisfied“. This was said by Donald Trump from the White House. “We’re negotiating by phone,” Trump assured, adding that “they’ve made progress, but I’m not sure they’ll ever come to an understanding.” Trump then returned to refer to the internal divisions within the Iranian leadership: ‘The leadership is very fragmented.

Iran, US Foreign Comm. US Foreign Affairs against UN: ‘Ridiculous Tehran vice-chair non-proliferation conference’
Republican Congressman Brian Mast, chairman of the US House Foreign Affairs Committee, sharply criticised the UN during a hearing of the Subcommittee on Oversight and Intelligence over its choice of Iran as vice chair at the UN conference on nuclear non-proliferation. “I can’t even say that seriously,” he said. The 11th conference to review the implementation of the NPT began Monday at the UN in New York. Several groups nominated 34 conference vice-presidents, and the conference chairman, Vietnamese Ambassador to the UN Do Hung Viet, announced that Iran had been chosen by the “group of non-aligned countries and other states”, raising the ire of Washington. Mast also denounced the choice by the 54-nation UN Economic and Social Council to appoint Iran to the UN Programme and Coordination Committee, which sets policies on women’s rights, human rights, disarmament and prevention of terrorism. “This is the same regime whose idea on women’s rights is to impose physical assault or detention on women caught without a hijab,” Mast said. “How is this possible? It is a rotten institution.”
