【Iran Calls the US for Talks, Is Trump Bragging?】
Just as Trump was sharpening his knives and planning to attack Iran, he suddenly revealed a shocking news: Iran called him to request talks. Trump believed that his threat of "using force" must have had a deterrent effect, so he proudly said: they must have had enough of America's attacks, and they want to talk, and the US may also negotiate with them.
However, the most critical question is: is Trump's statement true, or is it just bragging? After all, Trump has made too many boasts before, and there are countless cases where he was proven wrong.
Regarding this claim that "Iran wants to seek peace and negotiate," one point deserves special attention: who made the "peace call," and was it authorized by Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei? For this detail, Trump did not provide more information. Before the outbreak of the "Israel-Iran war" in June last year, the US and Iran had held multiple rounds of nuclear negotiations. During this process, Trump's special envoy Wittkopf established direct contact with the Iranian Foreign Minister, and the two could call each other directly. However, it is reported that later, the two lost their direct communication method. This time, Trump suddenly said that Iran called for peace, which naturally raises doubts: has the Iranian Foreign Minister restarted direct communication with Wittkopf? Another possibility is that Iran used Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other countries to convey messages to Trump.
Perhaps worried that Iran is trying to buy time, Trump also said that even if there is a real negotiation, it will not delay his attack on Iran, and he might take action before the meeting.
