Negotiators involved in talks with the US have told American officials that the recent attacks on ships were carried out by 'rogue elements,' according to a report. The claim, attributed to unnamed negotiators, appears aimed at distancing the negotiating party from responsibility for the maritime incidents. The American side is reportedly skeptical of this explanation, viewing it as an attempt to buy time or deflect blame. The report did not specify which ships were attacked, the timing of the incidents, or the identity of the alleged rogue elements. The Zioneer has not independently verified the claim. This development comes amid ongoing negotiations between the US and Iranian representatives, as reported by The Zioneer on June 21.
