Reuters: U.S. made 11 attempts to negotiate with Iran in last two years: Iran president
GENEVA (Reuters) - The United States has made 11 attempts to begin negotiations with Iran in the last two years, all rejected by Tehran, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani was quoted as saying on Tuesday.
Tensions have escalated between the two countries after U.S. President Donald Trump withdrew from a multilateral nuclear agreement with Iran in May and reimposed sanctions in a bid to curb the Islamic Republic’s missile program and regional influence.
“If you think America is victorious, know that today Iran is victorious and Trump has been defeated,” Rouhani said in comments reported by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) news agency.
“Last year America requested negotiations eight times directly and this year three times indirectly which we did not accept on the basis of the dignity of the people.”

So Rouhani is admitting US has made attempts and is using that as a negative on the US? And no one is acknowledging that Iran has stonewalled the process on account of "dignity?"
If it was Trump saying no to negotiations on that same basis we would be in an uproar. To have no dialouge is utterly insane this day and age, we are a global community now and its time we start accepting that fact and change our narratives.
that's an indication that America is not interested in war. America is not the great Satan Iran is
a deal was made. Trump did not like it. Cancelled it....why would Iran now remake on Trump's terms? what will Trump do? oh. sanctions. ok. try that again
How Europe Could Blunt U.S. Iran Sanctions Without Washington Lifting A Finger
It was a bad deal just like NAFTA.
Ross Perot was right about NAFTA.
Trump is right about Obama's Shenanigans.
