Iran delegation refused joint photo with US team, source says
The Iranian negotiating team refused to take part in a planned joint photo opportunity with the US delegation before talks in Geneva, a source close to the negotiations told Tasnim News Agency.
The source said US officials and organizers had planned a handshake and group photo between the two sides, but the Iranian delegation declined to participate. Following the objection, the live broadcast and photo session went ahead without the Iranian team, which entered the venue afterward. The source added that the US delegation requested a five-minute delay for reporters to leave the negotiations site before talks began.
