“U.S. and Iran Make ‘Good Progress’ in Geneva Talks, Foreign Minister Says,” NYT, 2-17-26.  The key to this story is notice that the info comes from the Iranian FM, not the U.S. or anyone else.  Trying to shape the narrative.  It has been somewhat difficult these past ten days or so following what is really happening in the negotiations.  The U.S. is giving Iran a chance, and has the upper hand.  But Iran, as it always does under the Regime, hesitates, hesitates, hesitates, always wanting to hang onto the Revolution.  This means proxies, terror, missiles, the Shia Crescent.  So it should be no surprise they aren’t appearing to really give up anything.

So notice the next story from the WSJ.  “Vance Says Iran Is Ignoring Core U.S. Demands in Talks,” WSJ, 2-17-26.
