Trump: "If you reject the hand extended in friendship, our response will be severe"

US President Donald Trump has expressed his intention to improve relations with Iran. According to him, Washington is ready to leave military conflicts behind and aims to open the doors of cooperation between the two countries.

Trump's appeal to Iran

Donald Trump stressed in his letter to Iran:
"I am writing this letter to open new frontiers. It is time to leave military actions behind. We can lift sanctions and open the doors of cooperation between our two countries."

However, the president did not forget to warn Iran in his address:
"We warn you: if you reject the hand extended in friendship, our response will be severe."

Iran-US relations

Relations between Washington and Tehran have become increasingly tense in recent years. The US has repeatedly imposed economic sanctions on Iran and accused Iran of dangerous geopolitical moves. Iran is also included in the list of 43 countries that do not have friendly relations with the US.

Football and politics: Iran's participation in the 2026 World Cup is under question

Recently, the issue of the Iranian national team participating in the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada has been discussed. The reason is that Iran is included in the list of countries that have bad relations with the US.

At the same time, the Iranian national team has already secured a place in the 2026 World Cup and its participation in the championship has not been officially canceled.

This statement by Donald Trump could be a serious step towards easing the tense relations between Iran and the US. However, it is still unknown how Tehran will respond to this proposal. If relations between the US and Iran do not improve, this could have serious consequences not only in the political sphere, but also in the sports sphere. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
