Iranian television reports that Tehran formally protested to the US negotiating team and is now weighing its options following President Trump's threats. The report emerges as Qatar-mediated talks continue.
Iranian state television reported Sunday evening that Tehran has formally lodged a protest with the US negotiating team and is now considering its options after President Trump's threats. The report, published on the state broadcaster, does not specify the nature of the protest or the options under consideration.
As The Zioneer reported, the Iranian delegation was already described as 'furious' and 'considering options' earlier this evening (18:46 Jerusalem). Sunday's development comes after days of escalating rhetoric from both sides, with Trump threatening military action and Iranian officials warning of a harsh response. Talks mediated by Qatar are reportedly ongoing, though the substance of the protest suggests a hardening of Tehran's public stance.
A single source — Iranian state television — provides the report. The wider context includes prior threats from Iranian military spokesmen, IRGC commanders, and state-owned outlets, but there is no independent corroboration of a formal diplomatic protest at this stage.
