Rafael Grossi: We are talking to the US and Iran Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency: Nuclear talks have stalled and the situation regarding Iran is at a standstill. Until the fundamental issues - such as the Strait of Hormuz and others - are clarified, the nuclear issue is not a priority; therefore, at the moment, we have no channel for discussion. We are talking to the US and even to Iran. There is a conversation, but it is limited to their position - the Iranian position - that there is no progress until there is overall progress in the negotiations; this is the reality.

The quagmire of war with Iran has turned Trump's trump card into an electoral threat. US President Donald Trump is approaching the November midterm elections with the Iran war at a costly stalemate and the crises in Ukraine and Gaza still unresolved, a situation that has seriously challenged his foreign policy record. According to Reuters, this situation is significant for Trump, who returned to the White House last year promising to play the role of a "peacemaker" and had placed the resolution of international disputes at the center of his second term. As for Iran, after weeks of trying to reach a diplomatic solution, Trump suspended negotiations with Tehran and announced on Wednesday the start of a new campaign called "economic warfare" against Iran. This action was taken in a situation where months of US military attacks have failed to force Tehran to accept the concessions that Washington wants. At the same time, continued inflation and rising gasoline prices due to the war against Iran have led to a decline in Trump's popularity. @YjcNewsChannel

The U.S. and Iran are locked in a war of words as strikes continue and any path to a deal remains deeply unclear. • • Jared Kushner says talks are ongoing, but President Trump says no talks are scheduled.
