TOI correspondent from Washington: US President Donald Trump bluntly threatened to resume the destruction of Iran if its leaders did not come to a negotiated settlement, even as his vice-president JD Vance began talks with an Iranian team primed by an obdurate Tehran which is refusing to fold and wants Washington to unfreeze its assets, among other concessions it is seeking.
There was no word from Islamabad about any progress in the talk between Vance and the Iranian team till the time of writing, but there was plenty of output and volume from the US President, who kept up a barrage of social media posts during the talks, attacking everyone from Iran to European nations to his favorite target – the “fake news media.”
