Iran says US president's invitation to dialogue is contradictory

DUBAI (Reuters) -Iran's foreign ministry on Tuesday criticised U.S. President Donald Trump's call for dialogue, accusing Washington of "hostile and criminal behaviour" after his remarks to Israel's parliament about being ready to strike a deal with Tehran. The ministry said in a statement that Trump's call for peace is in conflict with his actions towards Iran. "Mr. Trump can either be a President of Peace or a President of War, but he cannot be both at the same time," Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said in a separate comment on X on Tuesday.
