CNN announced Israel's elimination of all Iranian representatives in negotiations with the United States

Journalist Dana Bash said on CNN that Israel had killed all representatives of the Iranian side in negotiations with the United States. According to her, she was informed about this by US President Donald Trump himself.

"Trump said that the people he was negotiating with are dead. <...> To my question about whether they were killed as a result of Israeli attacks, Trump sarcastically replied: "Well, they didn't die from the flu and not from COVID," says Bash.
