After Trump’s threats, Iran signals willingness to talk about ballistic missile

[IsailedawayfromFR]

Iran is signaling that it is open to diplomatic talks on its ballistic missile arsenal after increasing threats by President Trump to pull out of the nuclear deal that the Obama administration and other world powers reached with the Islamic republic in 2015.
Publicly, Tehran has vowed to ramp up its ballistic missile tests in the face of U.S. and European criticism. But according to report Friday by Reuters, Iranian officials have privately approached the U.S. and other powers about possible talks on some “dimensions” of the missile program.
Reuters cited anonymous sources as suggesting Mr. Trump’s threats to ditch the nuclear deal may have inspired Tehran to reconsider aspects of its missile activity, which Washington and its allies say violates existing U.N. Security Council resolutions.
During a meeting on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly last month, Iranian diplomats told the U.S. and others that “it could discuss the missile program to remove concerns,” an Iranian source with knowledge of the meeting told Reuters.
The news agency said U.S. and other Western officials did not confirm whether the matter was discussed between Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif and Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson when the two met on the U.N. sidelines — but two U.S. officials said Iran had recently been “keeping it alive” by feeding certain media reports and via third parties such as Oman.

We give them nothing until they give us our pallets of cash back Obama gifted them.

   Correct me if I'm wrong but Boeing/IMF is the big elephant in this room no one is seeing, didn't iran just sign a multi billion contract with them?
   No way Trump doesn't recertify this each time it comes up while the mullahs take us for everything, just as they rolled Kerry, even with Pompeo @ State as has been rumoured, it ain't gonna happen.   my 2 cents

U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to decertify the Iran nuclear agreement next week but stop short of scrapping it, according to media reports.

Trump will declare it is not in U.S. national security interests to certify the 2015 deal that Washington reached with Iran and five other countries, say officials quoted in the reports.

The move would launch a 60-day period during which Congress must decide whether to reimpose some or all of the economic sanctions that had been lifted as part of the agreement.
