According to CNN report on the 18th local time, a US official revealed that Trump instructed the senior envoy of the government to suspend dialogue with Iran.
According to reports, a source familiar with the matter said that White House officials have recently communicated with their political allies that they are changing their strategy—from “striking Iran as soon as possible” to “eradicating them over time”.
According to reports, U.S. officials said on Tuesday that Trump’s directive to his negotiating team—including Vice President Wilson, Special Envoy Wittckoff, and Trump’s son-in-law Kushner—not to engage with Iran was made after some “positive discussions” took place between the United States and Iran.
U.S. officials say that Trump remains dissatisfied with Iran’s unwillingness to comply with his demands. He hopes to resume negotiations only after Iranian leaders express a new willingness to reach the agreements he seeks.
According to reports from CCTV, Iran has not responded to this issue yet.
