According to a New York Times report citing an American official, the United States is skeptical that continued large-scale military operations will lead Iran back to the negotiating table, calling the chances 'near zero.'
An American official told the New York Times that the United States doubts continued large-scale military operations will bring Iran back to the negotiating table, calling the chances 'near zero.' The statement comes amid a prolonged diplomatic effort by the Trump administration to secure a nuclear deal with Tehran, which has faced repeated setbacks. The Zioneer has previously reported on the collapse of US-Iran talks and growing pessimism in Washington regarding a diplomatic resolution. The official's remarks suggest that the administration is reassessing its approach, though no policy shift has been announced.
