Israel National News reports: “The talks that were set to occur this Friday between U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi have been canceled, according to Axios.

According to the report, the US conveyed a message to Iran that it would not agree to Iran’s demands to change the location and format of the talks, which were originally planned to take place in Istanbul on Friday, with the participation of representatives from additional countries.

Following the report that the talks have been cancelled, US officials told Reuters that President Donald Trump is now leaning toward military action against Iran…”
