US source: Iran still unwilling to calm tensions

US source to Kan: Americans received an update from mediators saying Iran is still unwilling to calm the situation and instead wants escalation. The source added that there are two opposing interests, as the Americans want de-escalation before the midterm elections, which will be held in two months, while the Iranians want escalation in order to inflict as much damage as possible on Trump's chances and those of his candidates of winning in elections described as highly dramatic.
