Iran talks show glimmer of progress as Trump deadline looms
""A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will," Trump wrote on Truth Social on Tuesday morning."
"The key challenges at the moment are meeting Iran's demand for a strong guarantee that the U.S. and Israel won't just resume the war after a pause."
"Iran sent a counter-proposal to the U.S. via the mediators on Monday. While it was incompatible with the U.S. positions, the White House actually saw it as somewhat encouraging."
Trump issued threats to Iran, warning of destruction to their bridges and power plants if they do not agree to open the Strait of Hormuz. Iran has indicated it would retaliate against Gulf state facilities. Communication between the U.S. and Iran has been strained, with reports of Iran cutting off direct talks. Negotiations are ongoing through mediators, with both sides exchanging proposals. Iran's recent counter-proposal was seen as encouraging despite being incompatible with U.S. positions.
