Negotiations are still pending .. Trump threatens and Rohani responds
- Two Hours Passed
President of the United States Donald Trump renewed his threats to Iran, and kept the issue of negotiations subject to readiness of the Iranians, while his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rowhani that his country received ten requests for negotiations, saying that the conditions are not conducive to negotiations.
Trump told reporters at the White House that Iran would face "enormous power" if it tried to do anything against the interests of the United States in the Middle East, adding that it had shown strong hostility toward Washington.
He said he was still ready to talk to the Iranians "when they are ready."
Hours earlier, Trump described media reports about Washington's attempt to negotiate with Iran as false, saying that if Tehran wanted to negotiate, it had to take the first step.
In two Twitter tweets, Trump said Iran's economy was continuing to collapse, adding that that was very sad for the Iranian people.
On the other hand, President Rouhani said that he is a strong supporter of dialogue and diplomacy, but he does not accept it under the current circumstances.
He said in a speech to religious scholars in the capital Tehran that Iran has received more than ten requests from Washington to negotiate with the current US administration, stressing that the current conditions are not suitable for negotiations.
He said that the conditions in Tehran are conditions to resist the pressures imposed by the United States, pointing out that his country is facing difficult problems in the banking and selling of oil and economic war, and called for unity and harmony in Iran to face the conditions in the country.
Iran urged UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterich to take measures to enhance the security and stability of the Persian Gulf region and renewed the call for a collective forum for dialogue in the Gulf region to facilitate agreement on a wide range of issues, including combating terrorism and ensuring freedom of navigation and free flow of energy.
This came in identical letters sent by the Permanent Representative of Iran to the United Nations Majid Takht Rowanji to Guterich and the President of the Security Council Indonesian Ambassador Diane Trianesia Dajani, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the Council's work for the current month.
Mutual escalation
in the meantime, announced a spokesman for the International Atomic Energy Agency of Iran Behrouz Kamal clammy that his country has increased production of low - enriched uranium at a rate four times what was produced by its decision to reduce some of its commitments in the nuclear deal.
Earlier, the agency denied there was any intention of Tehran to withdraw from the nuclear agreement, saying it had informed the IAEA.
The director of the island's office in Tehran, Abdul Qadir Fayez, said the decision was another step taken by Iran following the announcement by the US president to withdraw from the nuclear agreement.
In another development of the crisis, US Senator Lindsey Graham, who is close to Trump on Monday, said Iran was responsible for the recent attacks in the Gulf region and called for "overwhelming military response" if US interests were compromised.
Graham said he had been informed of this by White House national security adviser John Bolton, who is known for his hard-line stance and for military solutions.
"It is clear that Iran has attacked oil pipelines and ships to other countries and is responsible for so many threats against US interests in Iraq," he wrote in a tweet on Twitter.
"If Iran's threats against American people or against American interests turn into action, we must have an overwhelming military response."
Charges
Saudi Arabia has accused Iran of being behind the attack on a Saudi oil pipeline by aircraft guided by the Houthis.
The attack followed another "sabotage" - no one claimed responsibility - targeting tankers in the Gulf.
The United States has not officially blamed Iran, but has repeatedly accused Tehran of plotting attacks, particularly through its Middle East organizations.
Trump raised Sunday the threat of a snoop warning that it would be "the official end of Iran" if the United States attacked.
"If Iran wants to go to war, it will be the end," Trump wrote in his note. "Do not threaten the United States again."
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif responded to Trump's tirade, asserting that the US president's "swearing-in" would not destroy Iran. "Never threaten Iran. Try respect, it's better! "
Tensions between Iran and the United States have escalated since the Trump administration put Iran's Revolutionary Guards on the black list of "terrorist organizations" and tightened sanctions on Tehran after Washington withdrew from the nuclear deal a year ago.
The level of tension rose further after the United States deployed an aircraft carrier and B-52 bombers in the Gulf last week to counter what Washington said were "threats" emanating from Iran.

To adopt a federal plan worth $ 2 trillion to promote aging infrastructure
Tuesday 21 May 2019
Morning / Nafie Fartousi
WASHINGTON - Democratic leaders of the House of Representatives, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Sen. Chuck Schumer have unveiled a preliminary agreement with President Donald Trump to allocate $ 2 trillion to improve the nation's aging infrastructure after meeting them at the White House.
Good indicators
"It is very good to agree on a $ 2 trillion figure for infrastructure," said the leader of the Senate Minority Democrats. "It is an indication that both parties intend to work together to achieve a common goal for the two parties by improving roads, bridges, airports, railways, Water and Internet services throughout the country.
Schumer added that "the president himself was eager to raise the amount to two billion dollars," adding that the meeting was positive atmosphere "other than other meetings we held, and this is a very good indicator." The House Speaker said she and Schumer agreed with Trump on a "promising" proposal, adding that "the Democrats will eagerly wait to see the president's plans to fund it." Pelosi said she and Schumer would meet Trump again three weeks later.
Breakthrough
The bipartisan commitment to working together to develop infrastructure plans is a real breakthrough on the political landscape in Washington, which is beset by divisions and divisions, but nothing is guaranteed to pass the bill in Congress, which is shackled by partisan division as the 2020 presidential election approaches.
Asked whether it was difficult to work with Trump, who continues to attack the investigation, Pelosi said: "We may have difficulties in other respects, but we can not ignore the needs of the American people."
Promises
The US president has already made a promise during the 2016 campaign and early 2018 in his State of the Union address
Schumer said Trump's support is essential for progress on infrastructure, some of which are depreciating and footing.
"Approval of funding for the project in the Senate (where the Republicans have a majority) will not work if the president does not agree," he said.The plan would help many US states, which suffer from a sharp deterioration in road conditions, bridges and water systems, including Michigan, where lawmakers are considering a proposal to impose a fuel tax to provide the funding needed to carry out infrastructure repairs.
New projects
The Public Works Department of Wayne County, Michigan, announced a list of more than 100 road improvement and bridge building projects in 25 cities and towns in the county this summer, including four in Dearborn and Dearborn Heights.
"The total cost of the projects is about $ 82 million and covers 170 miles of roads, including 30 major road repair projects, 59 local roads and 10 new bridges," Warren Evans said.
Al-Sabah also learned that an additional $ 5 million would be allocated to improve public parks in the province. "If we do not have good roads and we do not do anything about road conditions now, we will begin to lose investment in all," Avins said at a press conference held at the Public Works Department in Romulus. Across the province and in various fields, "stressing that" we have to do much more than we do now. "
The county of Wayne, which has 43 cities and towns, has the oldest infrastructure in the state of Michigan at all, he said, stressing that there is an urgent need to reform them.
Tax
On the proposal of the Democratic Governor Gritsen, the increase in fuel tax by 45 cents
Avon expressed his appreciation for this, while criticizing the absence of any further proposal in this regard. Warning that the delay in finding the necessary funding to repair the roads, "will make the exit from the hole more expensive," as he put it.
Beverly Watts, director of the Provincial Department of Works, said her department could "double or triple" the number of existing projects if adequate funding is available. The planned 112 workshops will begin in late May and end. In November. Officials are currently working on a comprehensive road survey in Wayne County to identify priority reforms over the next decade. Avins said the survey results will be announced by the end of this year.
The 112 projects in Wayne County include the repair of Heinz Drive (between Ford and Outer Drive), Tyrman Street (between Greenfield and Schaefer), Wyoming (between Warren and CSX), and Greenfield Street (between Michigan Avenue and Rutanda). link
