The Trump "negotiations" with Iran didn't get off the ground, presumably for the same reason as previous ones: the US demand is essentially that Iran capitulates, agreeing to forfeit its national interests, and in exchange the US leader who broke the last deal without cause might honor a new one.
Seeing reports that US-Iran talks are collapsing before they’ve started.
Lots of focus on format but core issue is lack of clarity about what talks are about.
Just like lack of clarity about goal of military strikes.
And the stakes are much higher after the mass killing of protesters.
