American media is spinning in totally the opposite direction from what is being reported in Iran, India and elsewhere. Aka outside of America. Haven’t seen Israeli reporting yet… but it’s not too hard to imagine the type of presentation that will be made.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian administration’s head of Information Council Elias Hazrati said in a post on his X account on Thursday night after the third round of Iran-US talks in Geneva ended that “The negotiations are taking place in a serious atmosphere and have entered the technical details.”
“The atmosphere created by the Wall Street Journal and the New York Times does not correspond to the reality of the talks," he added.
Hazrati added that “Enrichment will continue in accordance with the needs and nothing will be taken out of Iran.”
“Other options, including dilution [of the stockpiles of 60% enriched uranium], are on the table. Iran wants the sanctions to be lifted. More details of the negotiations will be announced in the coming hours by the revered Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
Iran (IMNA) – Speaking to Iranian journalists after the third round of negotiations between Iran and the United States concluded in Geneva on Thursday, Araghchi said that after lengthy discussions with the US side, “good progress” had been made. He noted that the two sides reached a “close understanding,” although differences still remain on certain issues.
We got closer to a shared understanding on some key issues,” said the head of the Iranian negotiating team.
He praised his Omani counterpart for efforts to help facilitate the talks.

Araghchi described the latest round as one of the most serious and longest rounds of nuclear negotiations so far.
He added that technical teams are scheduled to begin and review technical discussions in Vienna on Monday, and said that a new round of negotiations will be held in less than a week.
“We have clearly conveyed our demands about the lifting of sanctions,” he stated.
“Consultations should take place in the respective capitals, and then we will hold the fourth round of talks next week,” the lead Iranian negotiator concluded.
China: We Support Iran in Protecting its Stability, Rights, and Legitimate Interests

Beijing – Saba:
China affirmed on Thursday its support for the Iranian government and people in protecting their national stability and their legitimate rights and interests.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning, commenting on the escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, stated that China is closely monitoring developments in Iran and opposes the use of force or the threat of force in international relations, according to Xinhua News Agency.
Do I trust Israel to not make a first strike? I do not. There are reports this is what the US wants them to do, so they can step in claiming to be defending Israel– Rather then being the aggressor. Which is just absurd. The US is without a doubt the aggressor.

6 Additional US refueling aircraft heading to Israel
Caveat- Citing unnamed analysts tracking open-source flight data, the newspaper said: “Five American KC-46 refueling planes will depart from Portsmouth International Airport in New Hampshire, and a sixth tanker will depart from Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina. All are scheduled to land at Ben Gurion Airport.”
Maybe, maybe not- Can anyone doe this type of tracking?
Also interesting and this is from today

“Iran poses a very great threat to the United States, and has for a very long time. They’re not enriching right now, but they’re trying to get to the point where they ultimately can,” Rubio said, contradicting what lead negotiator Steve Witkoff told FOX News this weekend.
-“First and foremost, after their nuclear program was obliterated,”
-“You can see them always trying to rebuild elements of it”.
Whatever “elements” of it actually means- “elements” could be a storage shack on the grounds cause that is classic weasel word usage
-“They’re not enriching right now”
