Trump holds meeting to make ‘final determination’ on Iran deal

Reacting to Trump’s latest remarks, Mohsen Rezaei, an adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, wrote on X: “As predicted, the President of the United States is betraying diplomacy for the third time.

“By continuing the naval blockade and making excessive demands in negotiations, he has once again proven that he is not inclined toward negotiation and is pursuing other objectives.”

Iran’s Fars news agency earlier cited informed sources as saying that Trump’s latest comments were a “mixture of truth and lies”.
