Singapore's Straits Times wrote today (February 28): "US President Trump is 'dissatisfied' with the progress of the Iran nuclear talks and said 'sometimes force has to be used.' But later he posted on social media that 'he would rather solve the issue peacefully.'"
[Witty] Comment: It must be said that Trump has a double face. He first criticized the progress of the Iran nuclear talks and made threats of using force, then immediately turned around to post on social media expressing his willingness to solve the issue peacefully. This kind of repeated performance is nothing more than an old trick of maximum pressure. At present, the core differences in the US-Iran nuclear talks are difficult to resolve. On one hand, the US is demanding Iran dismantle its nuclear facilities and transfer enriched uranium, while on the other hand, it is deploying two aircraft carriers in the Middle East to show off military might. Trump's soft and hard approaches are essentially using military threats to force Iran to submit. Such manipulative diplomacy without sincerity exposes the chaos and opportunism of his decision-making, and further pushes the Middle East situation to a high-risk edge.
