Why were direct negotiations between Iran and the United States rejected?/ Trump and Witkoff's prediction of negotiations according to Falahatpisheh
Some, like Witkoff, believe in negotiations, and that war with Iran can be turned into economic cooperation with Iran
Heshmatollah Falahatpisheh, former member of Parliament:
Some, such as Witkoff, believe in negotiation and that war with Iran can be turned into economic cooperation with Iran, while the opposing faction is those such as the US Secretary of Defense and National Security Advisor, who seek to show the hand of American power in today's world and consider Iran as a ready-made excuse
Trump still looks back to the 1960s and 1950s, when Iran was considered an investable country for the United States. Abandoning intermediaries is in the interest of both Iran and the United States.
