Iran's Khorasan newspaper warned ahead of the Geneva talks that President Trump or Vice President Vance will not pose for joint photographs with Iranian officials, reflecting concerns in Iranian media over the image aspect of the negotiations, according to a report cited by the Arab World in the source.
The Iranian daily Khorasan warned Thursday that during the Geneva talks, US President Donald Trump or Vice President JD Vance will not pose for a joint photograph with senior Iranian officials, according to a report circulated on the Arab World in the source. The warning signals concern within Iranian establishment media over the image aspect of the negotiations, particularly the optics of Iranian officials appearing alongside senior American counterparts. The report comes amid a fast-moving diplomatic track: as The Zioneer reported Monday, Vice President Vance confirmed his attendance at a Geneva signing ceremony, with possible Trump participation. Earlier this week, Iranian state media published images purporting to show a US-Iran MOU signing in Islamabad, though the status and authenticity of that signing remain unconfirmed. The Khorasan warning adds a skeptical Iranian media voice to the diplomatic momentum, echoing earlier skepticism from the editor-in-chief of Iran's Tasnim news agency, who last week assessed the chance of a final deal as "very, very low."
