Iran says Trump shifting stance on sanctions amounts to 'psychological and media games'

DUBAI: Iran criticised on Monday U.S. President Donald Trump's shifting stance on whether to lift economic sanctions against Tehran as "games" that were not aimed at solving the problems between the two countries.

"These [statements by Trump] should be viewed more in the context of psychological and media games than as a serious expression in favour of dialogue or problem-solving," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei told a press conference.
