US Special Envoy Steve Witcoff on Sunday planned to meet Irani Foreign Minister Abbas Argchi in Oman and recently discussed Iran’s response to the US proposal for the nuclear deal, with an American official late on Wednesday.
Iran said on Monday Soon hand A counter-proposal for a nuclear deal for a nuclear deal for the US, which Tehran has “unacceptable”, while called the US President Donald Trump The said talks will continue.
Tusrap Told a podcast On Monday, he was confident that Iran would agree to prevent uranium enrichment in a nuclear deal with Washington.
Trump is signing a new nuclear agreement to place a limit on Iran’s disputed uranium enrichment activities and threatened the Islamic Republic with bombing that if there is no agreement.
Iran has long stated that it has no plans to develop nuclear weapons and is only interested in nuclear power generation and other peaceful projects.
During his first White House tenure, Trump withdrew the US from the 2015 deal between Iran and the world powers, which laid down on Tehran’s uranium enrichment drive instead of relief from international sanctions.
Uncomfortable relations between Iran and America go back for decades. Tehran says Washington has intervened in its matters, citing incidents from 1953 coup against a Prime Minister for the 2020 murder of his military commander in an American drone strike.
Washington cited the support of Iran’s terrorist groups in the Middle East, including Hamas in Gaza, Hizbullah in Lebanon and Hothis in Yemen, saying that Iran pesters to the interests of American Israel and Washington in the region.
Terrorist groups describe themselves as “axis of resistance” for Israel and US influence in the Middle East.
Trump told American personnel on Wednesday Was being taken out of the Middle East Because “this can be a dangerous place.”
The decision by the US to vacate some personnel comes in an unstable moment in the field. Trump’s efforts to reach the nuclear deal with Iran appear to be deadlock and American intelligence states that Israel is preparing to strike against Iran’s nuclear facilities.
