WASHINGTON, DC - July 31, 2018 /MarketersMedia/ —
The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) has recently posted excerpts from an article published by the Iranian daily Kayhan as part of MEMRI’s Iran Media Studies Project. The article analyzed U.S. President Trump's May 24 cancellation of a planned June 12 meeting with North Korea ruler Kim Jong-un, and attempted to assess the North Korea ruler’s motivations in holding talks with the U.S. in the first place.
Kayhan takes the view that Kim has no intention of relinquishing his country’s nuclear weapons and explains that his country's May 24 destruction of a number of nuclear tunnels was actually a meaningless concession since the site was already obsolete. “During the past few weeks, there has been news attesting that the site that North Korea blew up on Thursday [May 24] constituted tunnels that were already destroyed after six well-publicized nuclear tests and that were nearly obsolete. Those who were invited to watch the explosion at that site were not experts; they were a handful of ordinary reporters who understood nothing of what took place at these three tunnels.”
“From this perspective, Trump's cancellation of the meeting with Kim Jong-un can be analyzed,” states the Kayhan article, as translated by MEMRI. “As far as the U.S. is concerned, a meeting with Kim would confer a special privilege upon North Korea, and therefore they did not agree to meet with Kim despite the fact that the tunnels had been destroyed.”
About The Iran Media Studies Project:
This project is the only research project in the world that monitors, studies, and translates materials from the Iranian media on a day-to-day basis. The project, which is headed by native-born Iranians, has produced hundreds of hours of translations from Iran's most important media outlets and websites, including over 40 newspapers and more than 16 TV channels, as well as hundreds of original analyses on issues of vital importance, such as Iran's pursuit of nuclear capability, the growth of the Iranian military, speeches by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the increasing influence of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), political unrest in Iran, Friday sermons from Iranian leaders, and much more. The project also monitors liberals and reformists in Iran, including the Green Movement, advocates of women's rights and human rights, democracy, and other issues.
