Iran's chief negotiator warned on Sunday the United States was not to be trusted, saying Tehran would not agree to any deal with Washington unless it fully secured Iranian rights.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf's remarks came as reports emerged that US President Donald Trump had sent a tougher peace proposal back to Iran, and underlined the rift that the parties still need to close.

Any tweaks to the draft could further delay an agreement to formally end the Middle East war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz after weeks of fraught negotiations marked by sharp rhetoric and occasional flare-ups of violence.

Iran was already in talks with the United States about the fate of its nuclear programme in February when the US and Israel launched air and missile strikes that wiped out much of the Islamic republic's senior leadership.

Mister "Art of the Deal"

1. I don't trust neither. ......

2. Trump would sign and deal then go back on every point.

Iran is in touch with reality.

3. As usual, the news source is playing fast and loose with words.

Details matter, the report is stated in such a way that makes it look like the war was started as a joint venture when we know based on other reports that Israel started this war knowing the Felon would be easily manipulated into joining the fray.

"Iran was already in talks with the United States about the fate of its nuclear programme in February when the US and Israel launched air and missile strikes that wiped out much of the Islamic republic's senior leadership."

4. To the horror of the Japanese PM he identified his sneak attack on Iran during peace negotiations with Pearl Harbor

I’m surprised he didn’t crack a Hiroshima joke.

6. He's such an embarrassment.

5. Given whom they're dealing with, I can't honestly say that I blame them.

7. No leader of a country should trust Dump

8. Iran is trustworthy, they have been consistent

9. 47 Republicans signed a letter by Tom Cotton years ago.

They explained to Iran that the U.S. couldn't be trusted if the Republicans won. Iran didn't believe them then and signed the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

Now they know from experience that Republicans can't be trusted.
