According to Axios, Washington and Tel Aviv had already agreed on the timing of an attack on Tehran a week before the Iran-U.S. negotiations in Geneva. The publication noted that the timing of the potential strike was set for a Saturday, during which Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was holding a scheduled meeting with his senior aides at his government complex. Citing sources, Axios reported that Jared Kushner, President Trump’s son-in-law, and U. S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff were both convinced that the meeting with the Iranian delegation in Geneva would not lead to a formal agreement. However, they decided to proceed with the talks regardless. The objective of these discussions, according to Axios, was to give Iran the impression that diplomatic efforts were still ongoing. During the negotiations, Kushner and Witkoff reportedly contacted U. S. Vice President Jay D. Vance, informing him that significant disagreements between the two countries remained unresolved. Recall that on February 28, the United States and Israel launched a large-scale military operation against Iran, striking key Iranian military and civilian targets. In retaliation, Tehran launched missile and drone attacks on U.S. military bases in the region. Explosions were also reported in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
