Unnamed Iranian sources claimed Sunday morning that President Trump has 'folded again' in the nuclear negotiations, stating that no progress has been made. The statement contradicts recent White House optimism about a potential deal.
The claim by Iranian sources is the latest in a series of conflicting public statements from Tehran regarding the status of the nuclear talks. Over recent weeks, the negotiations have seesawed between reported progress and outright rejection, with the Trump administration at times expressing optimism about a framework agreement. Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Khamenei, have repeatedly dismissed the notion of a deal. The Zioneer has previously documented the volatile diplomatic track, including Iran's rejection of a Sunday signing and accusations of leaked terms. The current statement reinforces the Iranian narrative of stalled talks.
