The Iranian delegation refuses to take a group photo with the U.S. delegation The U.S. delegation and the event organizers had originally planned for a handshake and group photo session between the Iranian and U.S. delegations at the start of the multilateral meeting. However, the head of the Iranian negotiation team and their delegation opposed the idea and announced they would not participate in a group photo with the U.S. delegation. Due to the Iranian team's opposition and their absence from the ceremony, the live broadcast and photo session proceeded without the Iranian delegation. The Iranian team only entered the meeting venue afterward. And the main reason for skipping the photo? Trump's continued threats
