Trump Says Putin Offers to Mediate US-Iran Nuke Deadlock, Khamenei Warns Arabs of “Eternal Shame”

US President Donald Trump accused Tehran on Wednesday (June 4) of “slowwalking” on a nuclear deal, after Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the latest proposal from Washington was against the national interest.The longtime foes have held five rounds of talks since April to thrash out a new accord to replace the deal with major powers that Trump abandoned during his first term in 2018, but sharp differences remain over whether Tehran can continue to enrich uranium.On Saturday (May 31), Iran said it had received “elements” of the US proposal through Omani mediators, the details of which have not been publicly disclosed.”The proposal presented by the Americans is 100 percent against” notions of independence and self-reliance, Khamenei said in a televised speech, invoking ideals of the 1979 Islamic revolution.”Independence means not waiting for the green light from America and the likes of America.” n18oc_world n18oc_crux0:00 INTRODUCTION“THERE IS NO ROOM FOR NEGOTIATION OR NEUTRALITY”SAUDI FUMES AT ISRAEL BLOCKING OF WEST BANK DELEGATIONTRUMP WARNS IRAN RUNNING OUT OF TIME, PUTIN OFFERS MEDIATION IRANIAN FM MEETS HEZBOLLAH CHIEF
