Iran's President Hassan Rohani is not "optimistic" about ongoing nuclear negotiations with world powers, the official IRNA news agency reported Monday ahead of a new round of talks this week.

"The government is not optimistic about the Westerners and the current negotiations," he was quoted as saying, echoing similar comments by supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Sunday.

Death to America Day
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the Iranian issue during Sunday's cabinet meeting and said, "There are changes within the Iranian public. However, tomorrow on 'Death to America Day' which has been marked there for 34 years, similar calls are being made against us. It only goes to show we must keep up the pressure on the Iranian regime."

World powers are set to resume talks with Iranian negotiators in Geneva on November 7 and 8, to build up on a "substantive" meeting last month when Iran tabled a new proposal.

its clear now that Iran will start very low and may end up somewhere in the middle during the negotiations. Meaning that Iran wont put anything on the table to start with, and may make one or two lousy confessions during the talks. It also means that only a lame deal can be reached, and it also means that more serious steps may become necessary to prevent Iran from entering the nuclear club.

Not that I or most others had any illusions about it ofc.

negotiations start this Thursday.
