A member of Iran's negotiating team, identified in the source only by the name 'Marandi' and the signature 'Mordechai K.', said that no further round of talks is expected at this stage, according to Iranian media circulating on Telegram. The statement signals an open-ended pause in the US-Iran dialogue.
A member of the Iranian negotiating team, identified by the Telegram source as 'Marandi' and signed 'Mordechai K.', stated that no further round of talks is currently planned. The source's identity is ambiguous — 'Mordechai K.' appears to be a satirical or distorted attribution in the original Telegram post — and no independent confirmation of the statement or the speaker's exact role has emerged. The claim arrives amid a flurry of conflicting signals from Tehran: as The Zioneer reported at 16:52, an Iranian source said the IRGC missile command is preparing for a broader offensive rather than further negotiations. Earlier today, Iranian parliament speaker Ghalibaf threatened to end dialogue after the Israeli strike in Beirut, while Foreign Ministry spokesman Baqaei pushed back on speculation of a near-term breakthrough. The statement deepens the impression that Iran's negotiating position is fragmented, with different factions issuing contradictory messages.
