Iran has communicated that the deployment of US military reinforcements to tje Middle East increases its suspicions that Trump’s proposal for dialogue is just a deception.
The White House has informed Tehran of Trump’s seriousness in negotiations and suggested the participation of the Vice President in the talks as a sign of seriousness.
US envoy Steve Witkoff had recommended the participation of the Vice President, because he enjoys an official status and Iran does not consider him a hardliner.
