Iran negotiations

The Middle East rewards power, clarity, and patience, and the US must learn to play by those rules. If they act desperate for deals and photo opportunities, then that is all they will get.

The talks between Iran and US are still set to focus on Iran's nuclear program and capabilities, NYT noted, citing three Iranian officials and one Arab official.

As Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff arrives in Israel, officials see the visit as a real-time effort to test Israel’s red lines on Iran and gauge what kind of deal Jerusalem could tolerate.

There is no place for negotiations with Iran’s current regime unless those negotiations lead to the end of the ayatollahs’ rule.

"The US cannot expect to gain what it couldn't in war through negotiations," FM Abbas Araghchi said during a Tehran conference on Sunday.

Could Europe's August deadline be the most important date in the decades-long nuclear standoff, or will Iran face more sanctions?

“The enemies of the Iranian nation should understand that any violation of our airspace will cause them significant harm,” the military head said.

Charging America with “bad faith” and suspending the talks for a while is no more than a ploy to conceal how anxious Iran is for the release of its frozen assets.

Whether it be humoring the idea of opening a consulate in Israel’s capital of Jerusalem or investigating Israel’s self-defense actions, Biden’s policies assist those who have no interest in peace.

Unless Khamenei is ready to reverse himself on allowing aspects of the IAEA probes remain open, there is no telling how long the freeze could go on for.
