Negotiations with Iran continue to progress well, with Tehran accepting some American demands in private discussions, the White House assured on Monday, March 30. The public discourse of the Islamic Republic differs from that held by American officials in private. The spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs declared yesterday that American proposals to stop the conflict, relayed by mediators, were considered by Tehran as “unrealistic and excessive.” Donald Trump, on the other hand, once again urged Iran to quickly conclude an agreement with Washington, threatening otherwise to destroy Iran’s electrical infrastructure, desalination plants, and oil wells.
KEY POINTS – Donald Trump criticized France as being of no help – The Elysée expressed surprise at Donald Trump’s reproaches – A desalination plant on Qeshm Island was out of service after an attack
