Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif says the Trump administration is showing “disrespect” towards Tehran, AFP reported Saturday.

He added that his country is open to prisoner swap negotiations with the U.S., but only if the Trump administration shows a "change of attitude."

His comments were made in an interview with CBS, set to air in full on Sunday.

Negotiations are a "possibility certainly from a humanitarian perspective, but it requires a change of attitude," Zarif said.

Five Americans are held in Tehran, including 81-year-old Baquer Namazi, who is in failing health.

Zarif blasted the U.S. administration for showing "disrespect" toward Iran.

"You do not engage in negotiations by exercising disrespect for a country, for its people, for its government, by openly making claims, including this illusion about regime change," the Iranian foreign minister said.

Good to see this confirmation by Iran's foreign minister that our current president is doing the right thing, unlike the last president we had. Iran's government deserves all the disrespect it can get.

Nice to see how American TV allows them a forum.

I am sure that ANY American that wants to bad mouth Iran is given a ‘seat at the broadcast table’ to share his opinion.

The US media showed its ‘true colors’ going back to CNN admitting they were privy to what the Iraqis were ‘up to’ and decided to not share it with OUR military so they wouldn’t ‘lose there place at the table’.

Then the danrather BS in regards to Ws ANG records etc.

The hiding and altering of the ‘facts’ in BO BC etc

Now they are waging war on the duly elected president of the USofA in a daily barrage of hit hate pieces.

During the ill-fated Nuclear Deal discussions, towards the end of the negotiations, the Iranians intentionally sank a mock-up model (very large scale) of a US Carrier. What does that say about a country’s intentions Mr. Obama?????

I’d rather have dealings with Trump than some idiot who wants a photo op and doesn’t care how many people die, so long as he gets the photo op.

If TRUMP gets Robert Levinson a former FBI agent who went missing in Iran back home it would truly be The Art of the Deal!

So, the prisoners are actually hostages with the purpose of extortion. Fine character Zarif is. He would fit right in with Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.

What this Iranian quiff has failed to mention is that Iran has massed thousands of Iranian soldiers along the Syrian-Israel border.

Disrespect? He’s lucky not to go down in a hail of kosher lead!

Just like President Reagan disrespected the old Soviet Union, hopefully with the same results.
