Interview: Trump is still “looking for a Silver Bullet” instead of negotiating seriously

The US is denying Iranian reports that 2 missiles struck a US vessel.

"Both sides are making maximalist demands, so a diplomatic solution is unlikely."

As long as Trump listens to the forces that sold him this (backfired) blockade, "we’re not going to see a diplomatic breakthrough."

Trita Parsi on Iran War: Trump Still “Looking for a Silver Bullet” Instead of Negotiating Seriously

We discuss the ongoing crisis in the Strait of Hormuz with the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft’s Trita Parsi. U.S. officials are denying Iranian reports that a U.S. vessel was struck by Iranian missiles amid the two countries’ dual blockade of the strait. The warring nations still say they are observing a fragile temporary ceasefire as negotiations continue for a possible longer-term deal. However, says Parsi, “both sides are making maximalist demands,” so a diplomatic solution is unlikely. “As long as Trump continues to listen to those forces, the very same forces that also sold him this blockade that has backfired, we’re not going to see a diplomatic breakthrough. It requires a far more disciplined and flexible approach to the negotiations, and right now we’re not seeing that from either side.”

Saudi Arabia, frustrated by Trump's announced plan to reopen Strait of Hormuz, "informed the US that it would not support the plan."

Trump was forced to abandon the plan, but said the abandonment was related to negotiations.
