Status: Developing diplomatic dispute; attribute each government claim.

Iran says distrust is blocking talks to end the war with the United States. The public gets claims, denials, and higher risk while leaders posture.

The receipt

• Iranian officials say distrust is a core obstacle in talks.
• The dispute sits inside a wider US, Israel, and Iran accountability story.
• BadPD will track what leaders say against what civilians pay.

Why this matters

War coverage should not become a scoreboard for politicians. Every statement from a capital city deserves a receipt trail.

What BadPD is watching

Watch for formal ceasefire terms, prisoner or sanctions language, oil-market pressure, and civilian-impact reporting.
