A report says Iran has used psychiatric professionals during indirect talks with the United States involving President Donald Trump, with the advisers focused on assessing his mental state and shaping messages conveyed through regional mediators. Middle East Eye and Times of India both cite Drop Site News, which reports that Iranian negotiators brought two senior psychologists into an advisory circle after an initial round of talks in Islamabad in April. The report says the psychologists advise on “managing” what Iran describes as a “psychopathic behavior pattern” in Trump, and help determine the framing of messages and written communications passed to him via mediators. According to the quoted Iranian official, the psychologists joined after the first round of bilateral discussions, when both sides exchanged terms for a possible memorandum of understanding. The official also says Trump’s reactions “have improved noticeably” since recommendations from the advisers were incorporated into Iranian communications. The reports do not provide independent verification of the claims or details about the substance of the talks beyond efforts to end the war and the memorandum of understanding.
