Why Iran will probably not negotiate with Trump.

He tore up the JCPOA, which imposed restrictions on Iran’s civilian nuclear enrichment program in exchange for sanctions relief. It was agreed to by Iran, China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, and the European Union.

Then, while Iran and the United States were actually in negotiations for another nuclear agreement, Trump unexpectedly launched his decapitation bombing strike.

Is it unreasonable to expect Iran not to trust the U. S.?

They're in a stronger position thanks to Trump's idiotic attempts at Presidenting.

Nothing he says can be trusted. Nothing he agrees to will remain agreed to. He can change his mind three times within one sentence. He's an inveterate liar who lies more easily than he breathes.
