The US is pushing for in-person peace talks with Iran as soon as Thursday, but Iranian officials are wary after being “tricked” twice by President Trump. They claim the US military movements and troop reinforcements are a sign of bad faith. Despite this, the White House says Trump is serious about negotiations and has even revealed a trust-building effort with the Iranians, including an apparent “gift” – oil and gas-related assets worth a lot of money. However, sources say that another two to three weeks of war is planned, even if talks take place. The outcome of these negotiations hangs in the balance as both sides remember their previous failed discussions.
