— 🇮🇷/🇺🇸/🇴🇲/🇨🇭 NEW: Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, met with the Omani Foreign Minister in Geneva ahead of tomorrow's third round of indirect nuclear negotiations with the U.S.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: The U.S. has received Iran's proposal and it showed 'almost no change' compared to the previous round – Israel Hayom

@Middle_East_Spectator

The fact that Iran possesses ICBM technology has been an open secret for at least a decade, which is why sanctions were imposed on Iran's space program.

The fact they are just talking about this now is clearly selective distribution of information to serve a purpose.

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 U.S. Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, does not sound optimistic:

'Eventually, we'll have to talk about the ballistic missile program as well. But if we can't even make progress on the nuclear program, it's gonna be hard to make progress on ballistic missiles as well. I wouldn't characterize tomorrow as anything else except another opportunity to talk.'

— 🇮🇱/🇮🇷 WATCH: During the 12-Day War, an Iranian man was watching the pro-Israeli outlets BBC Persian and Iran International, which told him 'this is not a war against the Iranian people' and 'the war is only against the Islamic Republic'

However, in the middle of this broadcast, an Israeli missile exploded right into the poor guy's living room, destroying his entire house.

Do you think he got the point?

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇴🇲/🇨🇭 BREAKING: Despite media claiming the negotiations atmosphere is positive, the opposite is true

The U.S. has brought a list of concessions and told Iran it will resort to 'other options' if it does not comply:

– Iran must entirely dismantle (i.e. destroy) its facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan.

– All enriched uranium must be transfered to the United States.

– The deal should be 'permanent' and Iran will not be allowed to have any enrichment at all, except at the Tehran Research Reactor.

In exchange for all this, the U.S. is offering a promise of 'no war' and limited sanctions relief.

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇴🇲/🇨🇭 NEW: A source close to the Iranian delegation describes tonight's talks as 'a last ditch effort' to let diplomacy prevail, and that Iran is doing 'everything it can' to reach a positive outcome

The same source also said that the main outstanding issue is the fate of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, and a verifiable removal of sanctions that would lead to 'tangible results' for Iran's economy.

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷/🇴🇲/🇨🇭 Iranian Foreign Ministry: 'The atmosphere of the negotiations was serious and good, but contradictory remarks by American officials continue to cause doubts and suspicions. We hope the continuation of talks tonight will be positive.'
