Hossein Shariatmadari, the representative of Ali Khamenei at Kayhan newspaper, referring to Trump’s performance and the U.S. negotiating team, wrote: “A brief glance at nearly the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency shows that his most prominent trait is an addiction to outrageous boasting, and he resembles a sheep wearing a wolf’s mask”. Shariatmadari further stated: “If the United States saw even the slightest chance of success in its threats of military action against Iran, it would not hesitate for a moment”.
