Trump dismisses Iran's leverage in negotiations

President Donald Trump has publicly dismissed Iran's position in the ongoing diplomatic standoff, stating 'Iran has nothing, they have no cards. And I’m a very skilled negotiator.' The comments come as a ceasefire between the US and Iran is set to expire, with negotiations in Islamabad stalled. Trump's remarks reinforce his administration's hardline posture, contrasting with Iranian officials who have framed the talks as a form of warfare where they hold the upper hand. The public dismissal of Iranian leverage may further complicate efforts to reach a diplomatic agreement before the ceasefire deadline.
