TRUMP FRUSTRATED BY IRAN PUSH FOR WAR DAMAGES
Two regional diplomats say Iran’s demand for war damages is frustrating Trump. They said Trump opposes the term “reparations” in any proposal because it could imply the U.S. accepted defeat.
The diplomats, who spoke anonymously due to the sensitive negotiations, said Pakistan is trying to broker a U.S.-Iran agreement to end the war and keep talks going on unresolved issues.
One diplomat said Pakistan’s leadership — including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar and Army Chief Asim Munir — has been in contact with both sides and regional governments to help preserve the ceasefire, end the conflict and secure in-person talks next week.
The White House did not immediately comment.
