Iranian security source: We are ready to defend with determination and with regret we are not optimistic about Trump's intentions An Iranian security source told Al Jazeera: Tehran continues negotiations with the American side through the Qatari mediator and a few others, but for the moment, it is not at least optimistic about Trump's intentions. The message received from Vance in Tehran was evaluated positively and the answer to it is being investigated. We think that there may be different voices in America, but experience has proven that the president and the circle around him succumb to the temptations of Netanyahu and the war-seeking extremists. For this reason, we are committed to maintaining our focus on fully preparing for a resolute and pitiful defense against any aggression and crime by America and Israel.
