Diplomat claims US-Iran talks continuing despite reported withdrawals

Primary source Internal intake · 2 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 20:01

TL;DR

A diplomat participating in the negotiations told journalist Barak Ravid that Iran has not withdrawn and talks with the United States are still ongoing, contrary to some reports suggesting they had stalled or collapsed.

01 · THE DISPATCH

A diplomat directly involved in the negotiations told journalist Barak Ravid of N12 that Iran has not left the table and that talks between Tehran and Washington are continuing. The statement pushes back against reports over the past day that suggested the diplomatic track had stalled or collapsed amid escalating rhetoric on both sides. The claim comes as the US maintains intensive airstrikes on Iranian military infrastructure, and as Iran's negotiating team has publicly signaled a hardening stance, including linking continued talks to a full Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, as The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday. The accuracy of the diplomat's framing could not be independently verified on a single sourcing.
