It's fortunate that Trump went to war with Iran's mullahs, otherwise there would be no credible sources for where "negotiations" actually stand.

Iran says no deal ‘imminent’ despite progress in talks with U.S.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio said earlier Monday that an agreement could be finalized “today,” though he cautioned that if talks fail, Washington would find “another way” to resolve the situation.

My colleague Ben Lerner's new nove, The Transciption, is, indeed a revelation. I recommend it unabivalently. It is also, I am guessing, at 130 pages, the most ever reviewed and writeen about (and author interviewed) novel ever, based on a page per review word basis.
