U.S/ Iran Stand-Off: Trump Backs Abe Playing Intermediary with Iran

US President Donald Trump has expressed support for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe playing a role in facilitating talks with Iran after the Japanese leader reportedly offered his services as an intermediary amid mounting tensions in the Middle East. Japanese media reported last week that Abe was considering a visit to Iran as soon as June. Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said the reports weren't true. Trump ratcheted up pressure by ordering punishing new economic sanctions on Iran after withdrawing America last year from a 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran's leaders. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Watch More: https://bit.ly/2KLQxbI Read & Watch via our Website: https://plustvafrica.com/ Like us on Facebook:   / plustvafrika   Follow us on Instagram:   / plustvafrica   Tweet us on Twitter:   / plustvafrica   Comment on Whatsapp: http://ow.ly/d4kQ50pT4Bt
