US Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz stated Sunday that President Donald Trump gives 'little room' for negotiations with Iran, according to Channel 12. The remark follows Waltz's statement two minutes earlier, reported by The Zioneer, in which he said Trump was giving a chance to the diplomatic track. The new phrasing suggests a narrowing of the window for diplomacy. Waltz has been a frequent spokesperson on the administration's Iran policy, previously warning that Trump's patience is not inexhaustible (The Zioneer, June 30). The US and Iran have been engaged in indirect talks mediated by Qatar, with Trump reportedly setting a limited timeframe for an agreement. The White House has not commented on the latest statement.
