“Difficult to impossible” – Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner reportedly warn President Trump that the odds of reaching a new nuclear deal with Iran are extremely low, even as they continue to give diplomacy a chance
The United States is unlikely to reach a new nuclear agreement with Iran, two of President Donald Trump’s top advisors have reportedly warned him, even as they continue their efforts to achieve a diplomatic solution with the Islamic Republic.
On Saturday, Channel 12 wrote that according to a senior US official, White House special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff and President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner recently told the president that given historic precedent with Iran, achieving a nuclear deal with Tehran now is “difficult to impossible.”
However, while the two expressed pessimism regarding the prospects for talks, they added that they would continue to “take a tough line” in negotiations in the hopes of defying the odds and making a diplomatic breakthrough.
