Iran suspicious of Trump's deal talk

Iranian officials are lowering expectations for this week's talks in Islamabad and appear suspicious that President Trump's talk of a deal could be cover for a U.S. surprise attack, according to an Axios report. This deep skepticism aligns with recent Iranian state media statements that there is "no clear prospect of fruitful negotiations" with the United States. The atmosphere of distrust complicates the upcoming diplomatic round, which Vice President JD Vance is reportedly set to attend.
