RNA - Through a note and pointing to the strictest sanctions employed by the US in order to make Iran kneel down, the Lebanese al-Akhbar newspaper wrote, “In response to the sanctioning policy, Iran has raised the level of uranium enrichment so as to show its resistance against the US.”

“Trump knows that following such actions against Iran will lead to the responses such as what was given to the mediation of Japan, and it has undermined the position of a so-called strong president.”, the paper added.

According to al-Akhbar, some observers believe that the mediation of Japan for Trump mirrors Trump’s confusion over the issue of Iran, specifically as the US presidential campaigns are to be initiated soon, and he attempts to acquire some points in the international arena.

In the meeting with the prime minister of Japan, Shinzō Abe, Ayatollah Khamenei stressed, “The Islamic Republic of Iran has no trust in the US, and the bitter experience of the negotiations with the US under the framework of the JCPOA will in no way be repeated because no free and reasonable country would accept negotiations under pressure.”
