    Here’s an actual source to what Witkoff claims, to counter your unsubstantiated claim:

    “We discussed with them ten years of no enrichment whatsoever, and we would pay for the fuel,” he said. “They rejected that, which told us at that very moment that they had no notion of doing anything other than retaining enrichment to the purpose of weaponizing.”

    Witkoff said he and Kushner, who was tasked with brokering a deal with him, believed an agreement was likely unattainable by the end of the second meeting, but returned for a third round as a final effort.

    “It was very clear it was going to be impossible, probably by the end of the second meeting, but then we went back to the third meeting just to give it the last college try,” he said. “They wanted us to report positivity,” Witkoff added. “It was not positive that meeting.”

      Had you taken a moment to read the thread you would have found my comment where I am looking for and sharing items that back what I watched. Is Witkoff more believable than Trump and Rubio? I don’t know, but he sure is way smarter than both of them and unlikely to say stupid shit to the press without thought of optics and consequence.

        I see now that you have found sources since I wrote my comment. I guess we have some conflicting reports.

          Not surprising given the shit show that is this administration. I tend to believe Rubio and Trump’s initial comments, only because they seem like a mistake. Whitkoff and Kushner don’t seem like people that speak off the cuff…but that’s just my personal opinion.
