Some of the reporting in this is astonishing, and one has to wonder if Trump's plan to install Patel as CIA dep director/acting director in December was linked to the advice he was getting on how to stage a coup washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
How does this relate to Trump's efforts at the time to overturn the election, one wonders
"On Dec. 12, while Trump was attending the Army-Navy football game, he discussed with top aides a sensitive future assignment for Patel, one person recalled."

EU official said he expects the talks in Vienna to go on for a few more days. And then he thinks two most relevant delegations will go back home to consult capitals for further instructions. We are reaching a point when decision capacity is back to the capitals.
He said of the apparent attack on Natanz and subsequent Iran decision to start 60% enrichment between the talks last week and this week: So these two issues make the negotiations a bit more difficult, but at the same time make it more urgent and important.
EU official: not exactly aware of how far along they are, but "the one thing is that we are closer than last week. This is definitely the case."

“Emails from 2018 show that Greenberg agreed to put his name on an op-ed, which aides to Gaetz had been circulating among themselves, defending the congressman for inviting a Holocaust denier to Trump’s State of the Union address that year.” washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

New from me: US, disowning suspected Israeli sabotage op at Iran’s Natanz, doubles down on diplomacy: diplomatic.substack.com/p/us-disowning…
Both the Iran FM, directly, and the US, tacitly/indirectly, linked suspected suspected sabotage op to the diplomatic track to revive the Iran deal gathering momentum: diplomatic.substack.com/p/us-disowning…

reading this, as a reporter who deals with the constraints of background and off record source demands, worry this piece risks being used for propaganda. the intel officials in third graph seem to be israeli but do not agree to be id as such
sorry, 4th graf. but concern is same. israeli officials trying to launder propaganda into western media to seem like other western officials sourcing and therefore legitimating it
I don’t see why @nytimes is comfortable with being the vehicle for this, meant to look to readers like it may have US official sourcing but is more likely unidentified Israeli sourcing/possibly propaganda
