Iran and the United States are engaged in a contentious fifth round of negotiations regarding Iran's nuclear program, mediated by Oman. The talks face significant challenges, particularly as Washington and Tehran adopt uncompromising public positions on key issues, specifically uranium enrichment. While the U.S. aims to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons and is considering easing sanctions, Iran has escalated its enrichment to about 60 percent, rejecting American demands that it cease all enrichment. Leaders from both sides express skepticism about reaching a successful agreement, underscoring the high stakes involved.
"Iran cannot be allowed to carry out any enrichment," Witkoff emphasized, reflecting the U.S. position that seeks to prevent Tehran from advancing its nuclear capabilities while easing sanctions.
"Zero nuclear weapons = we DO have a deal. Zero enrichment = we do NOT have a deal," Araghchi succinctly pointed out on social media, indicating Iran's non-negotiable stance.
