๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ท Talks collapsed again over the weekend. Here's where things actually stand.
- Trump cancelled Witkoff and Kushner's Islamabad trip about an hour after FM Araghchi left the city
- Cited "infighting and confusion" within Iranian leadership as the reason
- It's not even clear talks were ever formally scheduled. White House said Iran requested a meeting. Iranian state media denied it
- Iran's position remains firm: no negotiations while the blockade is in place
- Witkoff is reportedly perceived as untrustworthy by Iranian negotiators, adding another complication
- Trump's message to Tehran: "They can come to us, or they can call us"
- Araghchi is now on an intensive diplomatic tour: Oman, Islamabad, Moscow and multiple phone calls with regional leaders
No return to fighting signaled for now. The standoff continues.
