Last minute decision, and instant response
On Saturday, US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner were scheduled to leave for Pakistan for talks. But Trump canceled the trip at the last moment. They argued that the trip was not appropriate in terms of time, cost, and purpose—particularly since it was unclear at what level of Iranian officials the U.S. representative would actually meet. But the real story starts from here. According to Trump, as soon as the decision was made, Iran immediately sent a revised proposal – which was “much better” than the previous one. This development shows that both sides are constantly trying to strike a balance between pressure and strategy.
“I’ll deal with whoever runs the show… but there’s no reason to wait 2 days, have people traveling for 16, 17 hours… When they want, they can call me, we have all the cards,” says @POTUS.
