Iran has introduced sudden demands to change both the location and format of the planned Friday nuclear negotiations with the United States, raising serious concerns that the talks could collapse before they even begin. Sources warn the new conditions may force President Trump to abandon diplomacy in favor of military pressure already building in the Gulf.
Just days before the highly anticipated nuclear summit was set to begin, the Iranian regime has introduced a series of aggressive new demands that threaten to collapse the diplomatic process before a single word is exchanged. Sources familiar with the negotiations report that Tehran is now backtracking on previous agreements, calling for a total change in the location and the format of the talks originally scheduled for Friday in Istanbul. This sudden shift has placed the Trump administration in a difficult position, as any failure in the diplomatic channel could rapidly accelerate the timeline for a military strike. With a massive American naval force already positioned in the Persian Gulf, the stakes for these logistical hurdles have reached a critical level.
According to senior officials, Iran is now demanding that the summit be moved from Istanbul, Turkey, to Muscat, the capital of Oman.

By seeking to isolate the U.S. in a room, Tehran appears to be trying to avoid regional pressure and the "red lines" established by its neighbors. (Read More)
