Iran is deliberately dragging out talks with the United States in an attempt to politically weaken President Donald Trump ahead of the November midterm elections. Three senior Iranian officials and a source close to the regime told Reuters. Meanwhile, fears of renewed military action and deep distrust of Washington have reinforced Tehran's reluctance to quickly formalize an agreement to end the war, according to the sources. In Tehran, officials are convinced that the US president is prepared to launch renewed strikes in an attempt to break the deadlock in the war. "Iran is preparing for renewed attacks from Israel and the United States, not for an agreement to end the war," one senior official said.
