Iran military spokesperson says US is negotiating with itself — state media

The United States is negotiating with itself, an Iranian military spokesman says, according to state media.

The taunt comes a day after US President Donald Trump said Tehran wants to make a deal to end the war in the Middle East, with a person familiar with the matter telling Reuters that a 15-point plan aimed at putting an end to the conflict was drafted by Washington and sent to Tehran.

“Has the level of your inner struggle reached the stage of you negotiating with yourself?” says Ebrahim Zolfaqari, spokesperon for the unified command of Iran’s armed forces, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters. “People like us can never get along with people like you.”

Zolfaqari also says US investments and pre-war energy prices will not return as long as Washington does not accept that regional stability is guaranteed by Iranian armed forces.
