[77402] The nuclear deal with Iran is moving further away: The New York Times reports on Trump's hardening of positions

Negotiations with Iran: Expectations for a near agreement are fading

After weeks of assessments in the international and Israeli media regarding an approaching agreement with Iran, reality seems far from the headlines. According to Tamir Morag, the latest reports in the "New York Times," which indicate that President Donald Trump has "hardened his positions," constitute an indirect admission of the failure of optimistic forecasts.

The core disputes remain as they were

According to Tamir Morag, Trump's position has remained consistent and has not changed, contrary to interpretations that presented a compromise on the horizon. The main stumbling blocks remain:

• Dismantling nuclear facilities: An absolute demand of the US administration.


• Removal of enriched material: A threshold condition that has not yet been met.


• Unfreezing assets: Making this step conditional on real progress in the negotiations, something that has not yet matured.

Criticism of the media

Tamir Morag, who is identified with a right-wing line critical of the mainstream media establishment, argues that media outlets like the "New York Times," "Axios," and "Channel 12 News" created an illusion of an agreement being "around the corner." He calls on the public to "break free" from relying on these entities, which he claims "continue to fall on their faces, time after time."

The channel 🎗️Israel News IL🎗️ also joined the reporting on the shift in the narrative reported in the global media, and emphasizes that hopes for a lightning-fast deal have been debunked in light of the US administration's firm stance on core demands.
