Regional tension with Iran in focus

Political sources cited in Epoch - Magazine | News | Commentary report that American patience with Iran is running thin, against the backdrop of Tehran's delay in providing a response to the American proposal. According to the report, Washington has turned to Qatar with a request to renew mediation efforts, while in Jerusalem, concern is growing that the American administration will compromise on the terms of the deal and will not insist on Iran's complete surrender.
