According to a Wall Street Journal report, Iranian negotiators have passed messages to the United States via Pakistan, asking President Donald Trump to tone down his threats. Officials from mediating countries say the U.S. has shown some flexibility on Iran’s nuclear program, signaling it could allow some enrichment-related work later during the second decade of a proposed 20-year pause. Iranian diplomats reportedly believe that a cessation of Trump's public threats could help convince hard-liners within Iran's leadership that now is the time to restart formal negotiations.
