In an interview, former National Security Advisor John Sullivan, speaking during the Biden administration, stated that the U.S. team did not understand the agreement proposed by Iran before the attack. Sullivan said, "Just days before the U.S. began bombing Iran, Iran presented a proposal in Geneva that was highly beneficial in resolving the nuclear issue. As far as I know, our negotiators on our side did not understand the Iranian proposal at all; they ignored it and insisted on launching the strike." The Iranian embassy in Finland responded to this claim, stating that the issue was not understanding, but rather that "Washington is not, and will not, be, the dominant party." The embassy stated that Israel truly controls U.S. foreign policy, and "Israel will never allow any diplomatic route to succeed." (Jin Shi)
