The United States and Iran have successfully concluded weeks of intensive negotiations, reaching a landmark deal mediated primarily by Pakistan to end regional hostilities. Following a digital signature of the initial agreement, both nations are set to attend a formal signing ceremony this Friday in Geneva. Amid this, reports have emerged that Iran used senior psychologists to analyse the situation and create effective messages for the mediators.

New details emerge on Iran-US deal

According to Iranian officials speaking to Drop Site News on conditions of anonymity, two senior psychologists joined the Iranian negotiator's advisory team following the April talks in Islamabad to help draft and evaluate proposed terms for the potential MoU. They were to particularly map US President Donald Trump’s cognitive and decision-making style.

“We added two senior psychologists to the negotiations’ advisory circle so that we can shape messages intended for President Trump from the perspective of managing what we regard as a psychopathic behaviour pattern,” said the Iranian official to Dropsite News. The officials claimed that Trump's negotiating behaviour reportedly improved following the inclusion of the psychologists in the diplomatic process.

“His reactions have improved noticeably since we began incorporating the recommendations of these advisers into our messages and written communications,” the official noted. “Because the exchanged texts will ultimately become part of the historical record, we conduct our negotiations in a manner that ensures the relative weight and sophistication of each party’s negotiating techniques will be evident should these communications be made public in the years ahead,” the official further added.

Meanwhile, investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill, cited Iranian officials who said they determined that Trump was operating from a position of “mental illness” and “mental deficiency.” Schaill said, “And so, senior Iranian psychologists began working with the negotiating team to try to cater the messages that the Iranians were sending via mediators back to Donald Trump, to try to take into account what they saw as his specific mental illness and mental deficiencies. And they weren’t saying this in an ad hominem way; they were saying it as a matter of fact.”
