🇮🇱-NEWS UPDATE: April 12 Talks between the U.S. and Iran appear to have stalled, with Israeli officials expressing little surprise, and even some satisfaction, over Washington’s firm stance as Tehran held its ground on key disputes. Attention now shifts to President Donald Trump, who is expected to weigh next steps after receiving updates from Vice President J.D. Vance and the U.S. delegation.
