TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)-Majid Takht-e Ravanchi made the comments to IRNA on Thursday hours after US President Donald Trump delivered a speech on Iran’s missile strikes targeting two American bases in Iraq to avenge Washington’s targeted killing of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, a prominent commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC).
In his speech, Trump apparently backed down from his earlier threats of more military actions against Iran should Tehran fulfill the promise to take revenge against the US.
Instead, the US president called for diplomacy said “we must all work together” to make a new deal with Iran after Washington withdrew from a 2015 multilateral nuclear agreement.
At the same time, Trump threatened Iran with additional sanctions and said his administration is considering its “options.”
