Iran fears disagreements with US cannot be overcome in talks — report

An unnamed Iranian official tells The Wall Street Journal that despite talks with the US continuing, Tehran is worried the disagreements with Washington cannot be bridged, making a military confrontation increasingly likely.

“Iran is facing its worst military threat since 1988,” and the war with Iraq, Iran analyst Farzan Sabet of the Geneva Graduate Institute tells the newspaper. “Iran is preparing for strikes by putting its security and political leadership on high alert to prevent decapitation and to protect its nuclear facilities.”
