Trump curious why Iran has not ‘capitulated’, US envoy Witkoff says

(Jaroslav Lukivand, Ghoncheh Habibiazad – BBC) US President Donald Trump is questioning why Iran has not yet “capitulated” in the face of Washington’s military build-up in the Middle East, the US president’s special envoy Steve Witkoff has said. Witkoff told Fox News on Saturday that Trump was “curious” about Iran’s position after he had warned of a limited military strike if a deal was not reached on Tehran’s nuclear programme. The US and its European allies suspect Iran of moving towards making a nuclear weapon, which it denies. Within Iran, anti-government protests were staged at several universities over the weekend – the first rallies on such a scale since January’s deadly crackdown by the authorities, which saw thousands killed. – Trump curious why Iran has not ‘capitulated’, Witkoff says
