Iran says it is ready for the nuclear deal if we stop military threats

Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi said that Iran is ready to engage with the United States on Saturday talks on its nuclear program “with the aim of concluding a deal.”

Aragici said that US President Donald Trump must first agree that there could be no “military choice”, adding that Iran “will never accept coercion.”

He also insisted that negotiations in Amman will be indirect and contradictory Trump’s sudden announcement on Monday It will be “direct conversations.”

Trump, who removed the United States of a 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and the global authorities during its first term, warned that Iran would be in a “great danger” if the talks are not successful.

The United States and Iran have no diplomatic ties, so last month Trump sent a message to Iran’s supreme leader through the United Arab Emirates. He said he wanted an agreement to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons and avoiding possible military strikes by the United States and Israel.

Trump revealed the upcoming talks during a visit to the White House on Monday by the Israeli Prime Minister. Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that both leaders agreed that “Iran will not have nuclear weapons” and added “the military option” will happen if the talks continue.

Iran insists on its nuclear activities completely peacefully and will never seek to develop or obtain nuclear weapons.

However, Iran has increased increasingly from the restrictions imposed by the current nuclear deal, in response to the paralyzing of the US sanctions that were repeated seven years ago, and stored enough of the highly enriched uranium to make many bombs.

The US president told the Casablanca office on Monday that the weekend meeting in Amman would be “very large”.

“I think everyone agrees that doing a deal will be better to do what is clear,” Trump said.

But he also warned that “it will be a very bad day for Iran” if the conversations are not successful.

In an opinion article published by the Washington Post on TuesdayThe Iranian Foreign Minister announced that he was “ready to engage in seriously and in view to conclude a deal.”

“We will meet in Amman on Saturday in indirect negotiations. It is an opportunity as much as it is a test,” said Aragchi.

He pointed out that Iran has mastered “serious doubts” about the sincerity of the American government’s intentions, noting the “maximum pressure” campaign for the sanctions that Trump regained shortly after the start of his second term.

He said, “To move forward today, we first need to agree that there can be no” military choice “, not to mention a” military solution. “

“The potential Iranian nation, which depends on my government on real deterrence, will never accept coercion and assumption.”

Araghchi insisted that there is no evidence that Iran has violated its commitment not to seek nuclear weapons, but also acknowledged that “there may be possible concerns about our nuclear program.”

“We are ready to clarify our peaceful intent and take the necessary measures to calm any possible concern. For its part, the United States can show that it is serious about diplomacy by showing that it will stick to any deal it is making. If we show respect, we will do the same.”

“The ball is now in the American court,” he added.

The Iranian Tasnim News Agency in Iran said that Aragchchi will head the country’s delegation in the Amman talks, which confirms its importance.

Meanwhile, the CBS partner of the BBC confirmed that Trump’s special envoy in the Middle East Steve Witkeov will lead the United States team, and said that America continues to pay direct talks.

During the first group of meetings, the United States was expected to invite Iran to completely dismantle its nuclear program, and depending on how negotiations negotiated, technical experts were expected to continue in additional talks.

US officials have so far revealed some details about Trump’s demands.

However, after Witkoff said in an interview with him recently that Trump proposes a “verification program” to show that Iran is not following nuclear weapons, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz explained that the goal is “complete dismantling.”

The Israeli Prime Minister echoed the position of Waltz in a video on Tuesday, saying that he wanted a “Libyan style” agreement – referring to the decision of the North African country to dismantle its nuclear, biological and chemical programs in 2003.

“They enter, detonate the facilities, and dismantle all the equipment, under the supervision of America and was carried out by America,” Netanyahu explained.

Then he said: “The second possibility, this will not be, is that they withdraw the talks and then there is the military option.”

Israel, which is supposed to have its own nuclear weapons but maintains an official policy of deliberate ambiguity, is nuclear Iran as an existential threat.

Tel Aviv said last year that he had achieved an Iranian nuclear site in response to a missile attack.

A senior official at the Iranian Foreign Ministry told the BBC that he would never agree to dismantle its nuclear program, and added “Libya’s model” will not be part of any negotiations.

The 2015 deal that Iran reached with the administration of the President of the United States, Barack Obama at the time, as well as the United Kingdom, France, China, Russia and Germany, witnessed that it limits its nuclear activities and allows inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (International Energy Agency) in exchange for the relief of sanctions.

However, in 2018, Trump abandoned the agreement unilaterallyHe said he did not do very little to stop Iran’s potential path to a bomb.

Iran is then increasingly violated the constraints of the agreement. In February, the International Atomic Energy Agency warned that Iran has stored approximately 275 kg (606 pounds) of enriched uranium to 60 % purity, near weapons. This will be enough, if fertilized to 90 %, for six nuclear bombs.
