🇺🇸🇮🇷 - The U.S. administration estimates that the Iranian negotiating team is not authorized by Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei or senior IRGC commanders to agree to any concessions on the nuclear issue.
Therefore, without a return to fighting, there is no reason to expect a change in Iran's position on the matter.
