According to a report, President Donald Trump now assesses that Iran is deliberately stalling and is not genuinely interested in negotiations. The report, from Israeli media, adds to a pattern of growing frustration from Washington as talks with Tehran have failed to yield a deal.
A report cited Israeli sources saying President Donald Trump now believes Iran is stalling the talks process and is not genuinely seeking a diplomatic resolution. The assessment comes amid a longer thread of US-Iran interactions: as The Zioneer reported on July 12 (Trump: Iran walked away from deal, then attacked ship with drone within two hours), the president tied earlier Iranian conduct to attacks. Senior US officials have briefed that Trump is losing patience (June 10), and White House sources said he was furious his strikes on Iran were not perceived as forceful enough (June 11). A published analysis on June 11 assessed that Iran is indeed playing for time while the Trump administration prepares conditions for a larger campaign. The current report remains single-sourced; no official confirmation from the White House or Trump himself has been issued at this hour.
