Sir, – US president Donald Trump has written on Truth Social that negotiators from both sides “must take their time and get it right” regarding a deal with Iran. A simple and accurate statement but what is the full story?
The only substantial concern is the nuclear issue and both sides seem unwilling to move on that, so all we are going to get is more words, accusations and distractions.
The general opinion is that they should not have the opportunity to develop nuclear weapons but that also could be applied to all countries. The consequences of nuclear bombs are horrific as shown at Hiroshima and the potential to destroy the whole planet is too real. How can this be solved?
Will we have to wait untilTrump leaves the Oval Office, or will wise minds step in? – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Puzzled by voters’ loyalty to a failing administration, Daniel Geary says that “breaking with Trump would mean admitting they had been wrong all along,” (“The paradox of Trump – unpopular but untouchable,” May 23rd). I don’t think that quite conveys their difficulty – it’s really admitting that their opponents were right. – Yours, etc,
