Golden Finance reports that on April 2, according to The New York Times, U.S. officials said that multiple U.S. intelligence agencies have recently assessed that the Iranian government is currently unwilling to hold substantive negotiations to bring an end to the U.S.-Iran war. The officials said the assessment is that the Iranian government believes it is in a strong position in the war and therefore does not need to give in to the United States’ diplomatic demands. They said that although Iran is willing to keep communication channels open, it does not trust the U.S., and it believes President Trump is not genuinely serious about negotiations. Over the past year, Trump has twice ordered attacks on that country during negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program. These assessments are consistent with Iran officials’ recent remarks. U.S. and Iranian officials said the two countries are exchanging information with each other through intermediary countries, and perhaps also through direct channels, but they are not negotiating the conditions for a ceasefire or for ending the war.
