In Geneva, American and Iranian diplomats resumed indirect nuclear talks under Omani mediation, even as both nations' leaders traded open defiance from their respective platforms. Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei turned Trump's own admission of 47 years of failed pressure into a public declaration of endurance, while missile drills near the Strait of Hormuz gave his words a physical dimension. The negotiations continue, but the distance between the two governments — measured not in miles but in the weight of competing ultimatums — remains as wide as it has ever been.
