- President Trump expresses discontent with Iran nuclear talks and reportedly considered military strikes.
- Senator Rubio plans a trip to Israel to discuss Iran, indicating close coordination between the US and Israel on the issue (per Al Jazeera and Channel News Asia).
- Iranian officials cite progress in the talks, but the NYT reports that a marathon session failed to produce a deal, suggesting a possible disconnect between the parties' perceptions.
Why it matters: Trump's discontent and potential military considerations, combined with international diplomatic activity, raise the stakes and increase the risk of miscalculation, potentially destabilizing the Middle East.
