Senior Japanese diplomat: Iran's resistance has historical logic and roots "Mitsugo Saito", senior diplomat and former Japanese ambassador to Iran: Donald Trump is operating from the wrong assumption that he can finish the job only with a "stronger blow" or a final push. Trump measures Iran's behavior based on "Western rationality", while Iran makes decisions based on its "indigenous and historical rationality". Iran's stability and incompatibility with any external coercion or pressure is not a momentary or defensive behavior, but has a deep-rooted, historical and completely legitimate logic.
