An American official told i24NEWS that the Iranians exaggerated their demands in negotiations with the United States. The main dispute concerns the order of stages in the agreement and the question of who will take the first step. The Prime Minister of Qatar also admitted in closed talks that the gaps between the sides are large. Meanwhile, a senior security official told i24NEWS that President Trump does not intend to give up on the negotiation path for now, amid Israeli concerns about renewed American strikes and a preemptive Iranian attack. Earlier today, Trump posted on Truth Social that the US does not need an agreement with Iran, but an American official explained that this is internal politics after the midterm elections. An Israeli security official assessed that the Iranians will drag out the negotiations until the end of Trump's term.
