USA and Iran: String for nuclear agreements goes in crucial round!

Maskat, Oman - Negotiations between the United States and Iran on the controversial nuclear program of the country continue. After the second round of negotiations in Rome, which took place on April 16, there was no significant progress. The next negotiation date will be in Oman for Saturday next week, where Oman acts as an intermediary. According to Kölnische Rundschau reports the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtschi that the conversations have been progressing so far, but so far failed details. Meanwhile, the Israeli government is concerned about developments and points out that it is the only country in the region with nuclear weapons.

The negotiations take place against the background of persistent tensions. The United States accused Iran of working on nuclear weapons while Iran vehemently rejects these allegations. The conflict recently ignited the unilateral termination of the 2015 nuclear agreement by the United States under President Donald Trump, who thus restored sanctions against Tehran and caused Iran to also no longer fulfill his obligations from the agreement.

progress and challenges

After the first round in Maskat, both sides had spoken of "constructive" conversations, but the Iranian side also expressed "serious doubts" in the intentions of the USA, such as the time . While Iran is ready to accept some restrictions on uranium enrichment, the country rejects a reduction in the amount of enriched uranium below the level of the 2015 agreement. In addition, it will not negotiate your own rocket program.

President Trump has recently threatened with military consequences if the conversations fail. The US specialist Steve Witkoff emphasized that a new agreement only came about if Iran completely stops uranium enrichment and the weapon development program, which Iran rejects Iran as unacceptable. This topic will be the focus again in the coming negotiations.

goals and demands of the negotiating partners

Oman has set itself the goal of achieving an “uniform, permanent and binding agreement” that not only frees Iran from nuclear weapons, but also enables the Omani Ministry of Foreign Agency to develop peaceful nuclear energy. Ali Shamchani, advisor to the Iranian leader Ali Khamenei, also called for a balanced agreement and the complete cancellation of the sanctions against Iran.

Until the third round of negotiations next Saturday, talks are already planned on Wednesday. Every future success will essentially depend on how both sides can reconcile their core demands. The pressure on both diplomats increases while the global community looks at the developments.
