Negotiations led by special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will shape Trump's calculus - key US politics stories from Monday 23 February at a glance

Deal or no deal?

Donald Trump's decision to order airstrikes against Iran will hinge in part on the judgment of Trump's special envoys, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, about whether Tehran is stalling over a deal to relinquish its capacity to produce nuclear weapons, according to people familiar with the matter.

The US president has not made a final determination on any strikes, as the administration prepares for Iran to send its latest proposal this week, in advance of what officials have described as a last-ditch round of negotiations scheduled for Thursday in Geneva.
