"Iran has been reluctant to sit down directly with the United States across the table face-to-face. They have preferred to negotiate indirectly, passing messages through intermediaries."
"The ball really here is in Tehran's court. It's possible that the new supreme leader would authorize direct talks, so we will have to see."
"President Trump did pull out of the deal, even though Iran was in compliance with it, and those of us who objected to him pulling out warned that we could end up in a more dangerous situation."
Iran has shown reluctance to engage in direct negotiations with the United States, favoring indirect communication through intermediaries like Oman and potentially Pakistan. The new supreme leader may authorize direct talks, but the decision ultimately lies with Tehran. The Trump administration's withdrawal from the nuclear deal, despite Iran's compliance, has created challenges for current negotiations. Lessons from past efforts could inform future diplomatic strategies in dealing with Iran.
