Trump Accuses Iranian Negotiators of Dishonesty: They Are Cunning, We Control Their Money

Donald Trump, president of the United States of America, described Iran’s negotiators as cunning and dishonest.

In an interview, Trump said they agree to a deal but then come out and deny that they ever agreed to it. For this reason, he called them dishonest people.

According to the head of the White House, Iran is facing major difficulties both militarily and economically. Trump added that the US controls Iran’s money and has complete control over it, describing himself as their banker. He also said that inflation in Iran is at 300% and that the Iranian currency is nearly worthless.

At the same time, Washington and Tehran have traded accusations over stalled negotiations concerning freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

Meanwhile, Israel and Lebanon are expected to begin a new round of talks in early September. International media report that the meeting between the parties will be held in Rome, the capital of Italy.

The US State Department confirmed the development in a statement, announcing that the United States would lead the process as mediator.

The talks aim to halt fighting on Lebanese territory, where Israeli forces carry out occasional attacks on targets belonging to Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group.
