Iran’s president said Sunday that the Islamic Republic rejected direct negotiations with the United States over its rapidly advancing nuclear program, offering Tehran’s first response to a letter President Donald Trump sent to the country’s supreme leader.
One one hand they definitely benefit from less US soft power and a less efficient US military (because those are often used against them), but on the other hand the US-Russia alliance stands to take away their closest non-proxy ally. It’s a double edged sword, but there are upsides for them.
Fair. Thanks.
