Powell:Iran Nuclear Offer Could Have Prevented US-Israel Strike

UK Security Adviser Jonathan Powell participated in Geneva talks between the US and Iran, believing Tehran's nuclear program offer could have prevented the US-Israel strike. Powell, confirmed by three sources, thought the offer was significant enough to avoid war. Two days after talks ended, the US and Israel launched an attack. Powell's UK team was surprised by Iran's offer, which wasn't a full agreement but a step forward. The scheduled Vienna talks for March 2 didn't occur, leading to the attack. Powell's mediation experience and separate UK technical team contrasted with Kushner and Witkoff's approach, which nuclear experts later criticized for major mistakes.
