But the US retreat from hostility against Iran includes Trump's abandonment of all anti-Iranian policies, chiefly stopping Saudi bets against Tehran.
Talks between the Korean leader and Trump in Singapore have not resulted in practical measures to remove Korean weapons or track the IAEA's involvement in supervising and monitoring the dismantling of the nuclear arsenal, nor any concrete step in this direction so far.
All that resulted from the convergence between the two sides of the developments did not go beyond North Korea's initial declaration of its desire to get rid of nuclear weapons, without any unilateral commitment.
North Korea did not aspire to economic aid from the United States, but aspires to get rid of the American nightmare for the countries of China Sea so that they can work together to unite the South and North Koreas and to exchange common interests in the region. In this regards, North Korea is developing new missile programs that could hit the US depth more effectively, according to the Washington Post and the Pentagon's confirmation.
The repetition of the so-called "shock theory" with Iran proves once again that Trump is the one who is retreating, after the threatening of the nuclear war. Iranian responses to his threats have shown a firm commitment to the confrontation that all Iranian forces and institutions have gathered at their military, political and diplomatic levels. The commander of the Quds force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, Qasem Soleimani, expressed Iran's ability to face a confrontation that could start by Washington, “We are near you, where you can’t even imagine ... Come. We are ready. If you begin the war, we will end the war.”
Trump's call to negotiate without preconditions proves that Trump is retreating from his threats, but it also shows Trump's withdrawal from what Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced on May 21 under the name of "12 conditions that Iran must accept before Washington agrees to negotiate."
In order to avoid any confusion that could suggest to Tehran that Trump was eluding in his call, State Department spokeswoman Heather Tarot held a brief press conference, confirming the State Department's support for Trump's call. The support came quickly because of a statement by Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasimi to the contradiction between Trump and Pompeo's statements.
Trump is trying to have media marketing in meeting with Iranian officials, if approved by Iran, in the midterm campaign that will be the Trump presidency for a second term in two years. Just as the meeting with North Korea's leader used fertile ground for misleading propaganda, he could use a bigger and more important propaganda in a virtual meeting with Iran. For this ambitious endeavor, Trump hints at Iran's willingness to abandon hostile policies against Tehran. It includes, of course, a cessation of Saudi bets on America in supporting hostility, with all its branches and regional ramifications.
Iran's initial steadfastness may push Trump to make more concrete concessions and inducements. If not presented in the media in public, he may offer to mediate with Iran through the Omani Foreign Minister Yousef bin Alawi, who expressed his willingness to mediate. Or through Russian President Vladimir Putin at a very high price that Trump is said to have heard from Putin at the Helsinki meeting. The US Congress is trying to find out about the leak by investigating with the translator between Putin and Trump.
