"War is 100 percent likely to happen because this process, which both sides are pursuing, leads to war," says Habib, a 47-year-old shop owner in Tehran. Mehdi, a 58-year-old salesman, believes the opposite, saying that "the Americans are bluffing" and that "the negotiations will be 100 percent successful". On Wednesday, Iran dismissed US claims about its missile programme as "big lies", after President Donald Trump said Tehran was developing missiles that could strike the United States. The two countries are scheduled to meet for a third round of talks on Thursday in the Swiss city of Geneva in an effort to reach a diplomatic solution. Support stories that matter.
