HIBAPRESS
U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that more talks on Iran are expected to be held on Friday, stressing that he has not yet made a decision regarding the Iranian file.
Trump added, in statements to reporters before leaving the White House for the state of Texas, that he is not satisfied with Iran, stressing that Tehran "cannot possess nuclear weapons." "Force is sometimes necessary" He explained that he wants to reach an agreement with Iran, but at the same time he indicated that he does not want to use military force against it, "but that is sometimes necessary." The U.S. President confirmed that more talks are expected within the framework of efforts to address the Iranian file. Third round in Geneva On Thursday, a third round of talks was held in Geneva between Iran and the United States, mediated by Oman, which was considered one of the last chances to avoid war. During the negotiations yesterday, 5 demands were presented, including the destruction of the three nuclear sites, Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, as well as the delivery of all enriched uranium to the United States, and the need to emphasize that the restrictions are permanent, i.e. without a time limit, unlike the nuclear agreement concluded in 2015. The demands also included a complete halt to enrichment, while allowing the Tehran reactor to remain, and a limited easing of sanctions in advance (initially as a goodwill gesture), with a greater easing if Iran responds to the American conditions. Disputes in 3 files Disputes between the two sides still exist in 3 major files: first, the enrichment rate that will be allowed, the fate of the high-enriched uranium stock, which is estimated at about 400 kg, as well as the Americans' insistence on establishing a strict mechanism to monitor Iran's nuclear activities. While Tehran shows flexibility regarding its high-enriched uranium stock, as it has proposed the possibility of removing half of it from the country, with the other half subject to the supervision of the Atomic Agency. The Iranian side showed flexibility in reducing the enrichment rate within the country, but while adhering to its right to enrichment for peaceful purposes.
