“Within the White House there is a lot of conflicting opinions,” said Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, the director of foreign affairs for the Iranian parliament.
President Donald Trump’s inconsistent messaging on Iran made it difficult for Tehran to deal with an increasingly “confused” White House, a senior Iranian official warned.
For his part, Trump veered between threats of an “official end” to Iran through military action and called on its leaders to come to the table to renegotiate the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action nuclear deal, from which Trump withdrew the U.S. last year. The White House has reinstituted harsh sanctions against the regime in Tehran in a bid to force its leaders to accept more stringent terms, including limits on the country’s ballistic missile program and regional influence.
Amir-Abdollahian warned that the conflicting messages coming out of Washington were undermining the chances of de-escalation. “In his mind, Trump thinks he has a gun to Iran's head with sanctions, and he is trying to shut down our economy,” Amir-Abdollahian told CNN. “This is all in his imagination. Now he wants us to call him? This is a crazy president!”
