The Secretary of State of the United States, Marco Rubio, said Tuesday that Washington is working to reach an agreement that would allow Iran to have a civil nuclear energy program but not enrich Uranium, while admitting that achieving such an agreement “will not be easy.”
The supreme leader, Ayatolá Ali Khamenei, who has the last word on the state affairs of Iran, rejected Washington’s demands that Tehran ceases to refine uranium as “excessive and outrageous”, warning that it is unlikely that conversations generate results.
Among the remaining obstacles is Tehran’s refusal to send all its highly enriched uranium reserve, possible raw material for nuclear bombs, or participate in discussions about its Balistic missile program.
Iran says that he is ready to accept some limits in enrichment, which argues that it is only for use of civil nuclear energy, but needs hermetic guarantees that Washington would not breach a future nuclear agreement.
Trump, who has restored a “maximum pressure” campaign in Tehran since February, abandoned the 2015 nuclear pact in 2018 during his first term and reimputed the US sanctions that continue to hinder the Iranian economy.
Iran responded by increasing enrichment far beyond the limits of the 2015 pact.
Wendy Sherman, former Undersecretary of US Political Affairs. UU. He directed the United States negotiation team that reached the 2015 agreement, said it was impossible to convince Iran to discard enrichment, which Tehran promotes as a matter of sovereignty.
“I don’t think it is possible to reach an agreement with Iran, where they literally dismantle their program, they renounce their enrichment, although that would be ideal,” he told Reuters.
The cost of failure of conversations could be high. While Tehran says that its nuclear activity is for peaceful purposes, the Iran Arch-Foel of Iran discounts this, saying that it would never allow Iran’s administrative establishment to obtain nuclear weapons.
The Minister of Strategic Affairs of Israel and the head of his Mossad of the foreign intelligence service will also be in Rome for conversations with the American team that he is negotiating with Iran, a conscious source of the matter told Reuters.
Araqchi said Thursday that Washington would assume legal responsibility if Israel attacked Iranian nuclear facilities, after a CNN report that Israel could be preparing strikes.
While the growing tensions of the US will go to enrichment have questioned nuclear conversations, three Iranian sources said on Tuesday that clerical leadership lacks a clear plan if efforts to overcome the collapse of confrontation.
