Washington President Donald Trump and his most senior Cabinet officials have a message for the leaders in Iran -- it's just not quite the same one.
National security adviser John Bolton and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have threatened"unrelenting force" and"a swift and decisive response" to any Iranian provocation after saying intelligence indicates Tehran may intend to threaten US forces or allies in the region.Asked Thursday if there's a risk of military confrontation, Trump said,"I guess you could say that always, right?" and then delivered his central message.
— Javad Zarif February 20, 2019 But a day after Trump made such a gesture, saying he'd like Iran's leaders to"call me," a top Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commander said Iran would not engage in talks."Negotiations with Americans will not take place," Lieutenant Commander for Political Affairs Brigadier General Yadollah Javani told the semi-official Tasnim News Agency."Americans will not dare to take military action against us," he added.
— John Bolton May 9, 2019 Those sources say Trump is urging caution in Venezuela among advisers and expressing frustration that some aides, including Bolton, are more openly teasing military intervention.However, in public, Trump has long chafed at any suggestion his decisions or actions are being manipulated or orchestrated by someone other than himself.
