Iran will wait for Trump to lose power
Iran has no reason to talk to a hostile, war-mongering administration which may lose power very soon.

Commentary: How to avoid U.S.-Iran conflict – and perhaps save the nuclear deal
European leaders also may be willing to make some concessions to Iran in the political and security domains to compensate for the loss of the benefits it was due under the accord. While Rouhani has expressed doubts over Europe’s package of economic incentives to preserve the agreement, Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif is continuing to work on securing financial, banking, and energy commitments from his counterparts from China, Russia, Germany, France, and the U.K.

Making a nuclear deal with Trump: some advice for Kim Jong Un
“The DPRK’s core interest in negotiations with the United States and other world powers is to gain recognition of its legitimacy, secure incontrovertible security guarantees, and win the removal of barriers to its integration in regional and global economic structures. Achieving this requires a careful reading of U.S. foreign policy and America’s track record in negotiations with rival powers.”

US, Israel, Saudi Arabia, UAE seriously pursuing regime change in Iran
“The Tel Aviv-Riyadh-Abu Dhabi triangle keeps telling the White House that they wouldn’t like the US to launch a war against Iran similar to the Iraq war; rather, as they say, a limited military operation would be enough to make Iran claw back its influence and presence in the region. Nevertheless, their covert objective is to start their move with limited military action that would trigger retaliation in kind by Iran, and this would eventually bring about a full-scale military conflict between the two countries.”

(Le Monde) Iran : les négociateurs de l’accord nucléaire « ont une cible dans le dos »
“M. Zarif, quant à lui, demeure relativement épargné. Le principal artisan de l’accord, l’une des personnalités les plus populaires en Iran, maintient des relations ouvertement cordiales avec des figures des gardiens, et multiplie les marques d’allégeance au Guide suprême. Mais si ses démarches pour convaincre l’Europe de rester dans l’accord échouent, « l’Iran se radicalisera contre la menace extérieure (…), et il sera naturel et nécessaire que des figures sécuritaires prennent un rôle plus important », estime Hossein Mousavian, chercheur à l’université américaine de Princeton.”

Pompeo’s Demands on Iran At Odds with Reality
“Secretary of State Mike Pompeo laid out a list of demands on Iran in a speech threatening to ‘crush’ the country on Monday. His bellicose words come weeks after President Donald Trump pulled the United States out of the Iran nuclear deal and are nothing short of an ultimatum demanding Iran’s total surrender to U.S. wishes … Pompeo’s twelve demands reflect a misunderstanding of Iranian foreign policy, international law, and the realities of the region.”
“Pompeo’s Demands on Iran At Odds with Reality,” Seyed Hossein Mousavian, LobeLog, May 22, 2018.
BBC Hardtalk: Former Spokesman for Iran’s Nuclear Negotiations Team – Seyed Hossein Mousavian
“How will Tehran react to President Trump’s decision to dump the Iran nuclear deal? Stephen Sackur speaks to Seyed Hossein Mousavian, former spokesman for Iran’s nuclear negotiations team. In the face of intense pressure from the US, Israel and Saudi Arabia, the Iranian government has a choice. Does it make a concerted effort to keep the agreement intact along with the other signatories, or does it ramp up its nuclear programme and hang the consequences?”
