President Donald Trump reportedly described the Iranian leadership as "unbelievably duplicitous" in a statement reported Monday evening, according to a source. The exact venue and timing of the remark were not specified.
The remark adds to a series of sharp statements by Trump throughout the day. Earlier today at 18:31 Jerusalem, Trump accused the Iranian leadership of hypocrisy, stating that they "beg for meetings" and then declare that no discussions are taking place, and insisted that negotiations be conducted only through Oman. In a separate statement at the same time, Trump said Iran is "begging for negotiations" and gave an ultimatum of "either an agreement or absolute surrender."
As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, Trump has accused the Iranian leadership of lying, called them "very evil people," and warned of "unbelievable consequences" if Tehran does not comply with nuclear obligations. The administration's diplomatic track with Iran remains under strain.
The exact context for the latest remark remains unclear. The report did not provide a direct source or specify the venue of the statement.
