Donald Trump confirmed that he does not intend to use nuclear weapons against Tehran and said negotiations and contacts with the Iranian side are ongoing.

The Hill reported that Vice President Vance told Reuters, “We need to trade actions for actions here, and we’ll see what the Iranians do,” and he later added that the United States is not going to do things for mere promise of actions.
The مونت كارلو الدولية episode said negotiations are stalling due to the Iranian nuclear program dilemma and that Washington is counting on a diesel deal with Russia to lower fuel prices on the eve of the elections.
The مونت كارلو الدولية episode also said Tehran continues to strike tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and bets on raising these prices.
