A subscribed Israeli security analyst, cited by The Zioneer, assesses that despite social-media threats suggesting Iran would walk out of negotiations, Tehran has not withdrawn. The assessment frames the online threats as bluster that did not translate into action.
On Monday afternoon, Israeli analyst Wans stated that Iran had not withdrawn from negotiations despite circulating threats on social media. "The Iranians indeed threatened to quit the talks, or at least there were such threats on social media. They did not quit," the analyst said. The assessment follows a turbulent 24 hours in the diplomatic saga: on Sunday at 21:54 Jerusalem, The Zioneer first reported the Iranian delegation's plane turning back toward Geneva after an apparent walkout. By the same timestamp, a second bulletin noted that Iranian state TV had broadcast footage of the delegation departing Switzerland. A third version of that thread, also from 21:54 Jerusalem, cited Israel Hayom saying the delegation remained in Switzerland despite earlier threats.
