According to Al Jazeera, an Iranian security source stated that Tehran continues to negotiate with the United States through Qatar and other mediators. However, Iran holds no optimism regarding Donald Trump's intentions, believing that the US President and his circle are susceptible to the influence of Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu and hawkish extremists. The source added that Iran has actively evaluated messages from US Vice President JD Vance and is considering a response. Therefore, Iran must remain fully prepared to counter any aggression from the United States and Israel.
