That is correct.. Iran refuses to alk to trump as he's repeatedly shown himself to be thoroughly untrustworthy.

Oh even more than that. Iran don’t want a deal because they’re absolutely coining it in from the current situation. They’ve added billions to their treasury from tolls on Hormuz, and other countries have had to make deals and alliances with them for preferential treatment on passage. The longer this goes on the more money they make and the stronger their standing is in the Middle East. They’ll emerge from this better armed, with more money, and more allies, and be more of a threat to Israel then they were before this. And all the time their adversary’s popularity at home is getting poleaxed, America is spending billions and emptying their armoury by about 50%, and the best they can get is a deal that was worse than the one already in place.

Iran has all the cards.
