Iran’s Supreme National Security Council chief, Ali Larijani, is scheduled to travel to Muscat today to hand over Tehran’s reply on the nuclear dossier to the Omani mediator, ahead of a third round of U.S.-Iran talks set in Geneva in two days.

Nor-News, affiliated with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council: “The issue causing today’s rift between Trump and the military commanders is not the ability to strike Iran, but the lack of a plan for the day after the attack.
