Iranian President Hassan Rouhani’s chief of staff claims the president rejected eight requests from President Donald Trump last year for one-on-one talks.
It’s the latest comment from Tehran suggesting Iran isn’t prepared to embark on bilateral negotiations with Washington.
Trump earlier this year pulled America out of the international deal meant to prevent Tehran from developing a nuclear weapon. He said last week that with increased American sanctions, “at a certain point they’re going to call me and say ‘let’s make a deal.'”
State-owned IRAN newspaper quoted Rouhani’s chief of staff Mahmoud Vaezi saying Thursday that “it’s been the reverse, so far,” with Trump seeking to initiate talks.
He says Iran rejected the requests from the U.S. for the two presidents to meet at last year’s UN General Assembly meeting.

So here is the quiz of the week people: who is the bigger lier?
Don’t the Iranians realize that they too could out con Don the con Artist just like Kim Jon and Vladimir Putin did?
So by their own admission it is their fault – at least 8 times over – that Trump felt he has no connection to this Iran thing and abandoned it.
