It's back to the future with Iran talks for President Trump, with the important difference being all that has happened since early June 2025 that makes this search for a deal a dubious quest. First, in June Iran's nuclear program and top military echelon were devastated by Israeli and then U.S. strikes, which exposed Iran's weakness, penetration by Israeli intelligence, and vulnerability by air. Second, in December and January the Iranian people rose up to demand an end to their regime's failed rule. Third, the regime subsequently massacred its own people by the thousands despite Mr. Trump's repeated demands not to do so.
