Iran riskiert Trumps Zorn mit neuen diplomatischen Forderungen und Provokationen

Snippet from this article: Iran has demanded changes to the venue and format for negotiations with the U.S. this Friday, two sources with knowledge tell Axios.

Meanwhile, the Iranian military conducted two provocations against U.S. vessels in the Gulf, according to U.S. officials.
Why it matters: The incidents and new demands risk pushing President Trump off the diplomatic path and toward the military option at a time when he has already assembled enormous firepower in the Gulf.
Behind the scenes: The sources said the Iranians are walking back from understandings that were reached in recent days after several countries were already invited to participate in the talks.

The Iranians want to move the talks from Istanbul to Oman.
They also now want to hold them in a bilateral format, only with the U.S., rather than with several Arab and Muslim countries attending as observers.
A source with knowledge said that’s because the Iranians want to limit the talks to nuclear issues and not discuss things like missiles and proxy groups that are priorities for other countries in the region.
