US and Iran Weigh Prospects of Direct Nuclear Negotiations
ai generated text
The Iranian government is considering a proposal from US President Donald Trump to negotiate a new nuclear deal. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has stated that a response will be forthcoming in the coming days, with the response being conveyed through Oman.
This official response includes a letter in which our position regarding the current situation and Mr Trump's letter has been fully explained to the other party.
Our policy remains not to negotiate directly (with Washington) under 'maximum pressure' and the threat of military action, but indirect negotiations, such as those that took place in the past, can continue.
You should be ashamed of yourself after what you did to Zelensky recently.
How could we hold negotiations with (the) US when we know they don't fulfill their commitments?
It is ready for indirect negotiations with the United States in order to evaluate the other party, state its own conditions and make the appropriate decision.
It roughly said: I'm a president of peace, that's what I want. There's no reason for us to do this militarily. We should talk. We should clear up the misconceptions. We should create a verification program so that nobody worries about weaponization of your nuclear material, and I'd like to get to that place, because the alternative is not a very good alternative.
Iran's maximum point of leverage is right now, where there is interest in negotiating and Iran can obtain concessions and sanctions relief during this period.
The moment Iran weaponizes (its nuclear program), Iran loses that leverage.
Conservatives see an opportunity at this moment to attack the Pezeshkian administration, to assert themselves domestically but also perhaps in the nuclear dimension.
The Iranians are trying to disabuse Trump from the belief that they are so weak that capitulation is actually on the table.
