The Trump administration has been targeted by Iran for another disinformation operation. The Free Beacon reports:
The Trump administration on Tuesday denied claims by senior Iranian officials that the United States has been making secret overtures to Tehran in pursuit of backchannel talks, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
A senior aide to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei claimed earlier this week that the Trump administration approached Tehran late last year in Afghanistan to seek high-level meetings with Iran amid a flurry of regional issues concerning Tehran’s continued support of terrorism and its expansionist foreign policy pursuits.
“During my visit to Kabul last month, the Americans … asked to hold talks,” Ali Shamkhani, a top official in Iran’s Supreme National Security Council who enjoys close ties with Khamenei, was quoted as saying in multiple regional reports carried by Iran’s state-controlled media.
U.S. officials quickly slapped down the reports when approached by the Free Beacon for comment, but said President Donald Trump remains open to renewed negotiations with Iran.
This is clearly to feed the anti-Trump neoconservative opposition, though Trump continues to maintain a hawkish view towards Iran.
DEAR IRAN COULD YOU PLEASE SEND BACK 5 BILLION OF THE 157 BILLION OBAMA GAVE YOU OVERNIGHT TO NUKE US? WE NEED IT FOR THE WALL. THANK YOU. YOUR ONLY FRIEND LEFT IN THE USA ABUTOM
President Trump needs to declare a National Emergency in order to get the wall built.
I don’t care what the supreme leader has to say. He doesn’t rule the U.S. and I don’t owe him respect. I don’t believe anything he our the media has to say about Trump. I will not change my mind when it comes time to vote for our president. I will vote for Trump. If vice president runs for President I will not vote for him.
Bring back John Kerry! He is always good for a few laughs and a bad “treaty.” Thankfully, Trump deepsixed the stupid work of Kerry.
Sounds more like they “talked” to kerry…..yet AGAIN….BEHIND the President’s back…..
But, but, but Kerry would never to to an hostile foreign government behind the US government’s back.
