2:52Now PlayingIranian officials are seriously questioning the competence of the U.S. negotiating team, Jeremy Scahill said in a recent Daniel Davis Deep Dive interview.
He says Iranian negotiators — many with advanced technical backgrounds — view Steve Witkoff as “a total ignoramus when it comes to the technical issues,” and Jared Kushner as no different than having Netanyahu at the table.
Scahill said: “Iranians said they sat there with them in Islamabad and openly witnessed that there was a split between JD Vance on the one hand and Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff on the other hand. In fact, the Iranians are turning around and saying, ‘You say we’re in disarray. Look at you. Look what’s playing out in public.’”
