15. Is Trump still trying to deal from a position of (imaginary) strength?

Still blame shifting the slow dealing to Iran?

The sooner Trump and his minions work out Iran is dealing from a position of strength and has little to lose, and a lot to gain, by slowing down negotiations, the better.

Trump needs to come up with some serious sweeteners.
He has forgotten, but Iran hasn't, that the US took out their Supreme Leader a while back.

Paywalled but the title is enough of a reminder if you have forgotten.
