Trump says it’s ‘highly unlikely’ he will extend negotiations and that he won’t open the Strait until a deal is signed. He said a meeting “could benefit everyone involved”.
Tasnim reports at the same time that Iran isn’t keen to participate in negotiations, and that they are a waste of time.
Al Jazeera reports:
Tehran believes that as long as Washington deals with mistaken calculations, the negotiations are nothing but a waste of time.
A further separate report says it’s still undecided whether Vance will go and that he’s not in the air. This directly contradicts what Trump told the NY Post earlier, though it could be OpSec rather than some kind of spin.
Update: The New York Times now reports that Iran is planning to attend the meetings and traveling Tuesday. The report says that the parliamentary speaker won’t attend unless JD Vance does.
