I guess many think that Iran is no match for the American military, nothing could be more wrong. Iran is not Iraq and they are not Syria or Yemen.

Strike Europe-Why !?

Can't see any reason to why they should strike Europe-They will only get more enemies.

Some US bases in Europe, still I do not think Iran will consider this.

Iran will not strike Europe ignore the warmongers Ali Khamenei is too weak at the moment and they not that stupid to add another foe.

For Tehran, the fall of Gaddafi (The West's military intervention tipped the balance of the war. Gaddafi fled and was killed by rebels a few months later.) was a warning; after abandoning its nuclear programme, it was still sidelined. Iran will therefore not agree to a Libya-like deal now either. More likely is a deal like the one agreed in 2015, in which Iran did not completely abandon its nuclear programme, but sharply reduced it.

There's no doubt in my mind that Iran is procrastinate the negotiations between them and USA. As mentioned in some video posted in this thread, Iran is just weeks from having their first nuke.

US offers Iran to hand over uranium reserves to Russia in talks - Guardian

During the first indirect talks, the United States offered Iran to transfer its enriched uranium stockpiles to a third country, such as Russia. In this way, Washington seeks to curtail Tehran's nuclear program.

This is reported by The Guardian, Censor.NET reports.

As noted, this topic was raised during indirect talks between the two countries in the Omani capital Muscat on April 12. The delegations were led by US Special Representative Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.

The issue is considered one of the key stumbling blocks to a future agreement, the article says.

The publication emphasizes that Iran will resist this. Tehran insists that the stockpiles accumulated over the past four years should remain in the country under the supervision of the IAEA.

Iran wants to "hedge" itself in case the future US administration withdraws from the deal again, as US President Donald Trump did during his first term in 2018.

If the stockpiles are removed and Washington subsequently violates the agreement again, Iran will have to start the uranium enrichment process from scratch, according to the country's representatives.

The next round of talks will be hosted by Rome on April 19, also with the mediation of Oman. The decision is seen as a political gesture by Trump toward Italy, The Guardian adds. Source: https://censor.net/en/n3546955

Iran's demands to the US: Parts of the nuclear program 'non-negotiable'

Iran will not negotiate over its uranium enrichment, the country's foreign minister said ahead of a round of talks between the United States and Iran on Saturday in Oman.

“Iran’s enrichment (of uranium) is a real, accepted issue. We are ready to build trust in response to possible concerns, but the issue of enrichment is not up for negotiation,” Abbas Araghchi said Wednesday morning.

The foreign minister also revealed that he will deliver a handwritten letter from Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, to Russian President Vladimir Putin during a visit to Moscow this week.

Iran’s demand to continue enriching uranium under a possible nuclear deal with the United States comes in direct response to a statement by Donald Trump’s special envoy, Seve Witkoff.

Witkoff, who met with Araghchi in Oman on Saturday, made it clear in a post on X on Tuesday evening that Iran’s nuclear program must be “eliminated.”

“A deal with Iran will only be made if it is a Trump deal. Any final agreement must establish a framework for peace, stability and prosperity in the Middle East - which means Iran must stop and eliminate its nuclear enrichment and weapons program,” Witkoff said.

Araghchi responded sharply to Witkoff’s statement, which he said contradicted previous comments from the US official.

“We have heard contradictory statements from Witkoff, but real positions will be clarified at the negotiating table. We are ready to build confidence regarding possible concerns about Iran’s enrichment (of uranium), but the principle of enrichment is not negotiable,” Araghchi said.

The talks in Oman have been positive so far, according to both the US and Iran, but the road to an agreement is long and full of challenges.

Iranian government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani made it clear on Tuesday evening that Iran cannot afford to wait for an agreement, given the many economic challenges it faces.

In February, the US imposed new sanctions on Iran's oil industry in an attempt to force the clerical regime to the negotiating table.

Trump has since made it clear that if an agreement is not reached in the near future, the US, in cooperation with Israel, will carry out military strikes against Iran's nuclear program.

Since the US left the nuclear deal in 2018, Iran has accelerated its nuclear program to great concern for the West.

According to the UN, Iran has 274 kg of uranium with a purity of 60%, which is far more than what is needed for civilian purposes. According to the 2015 nuclear deal, Iran was not allowed to enrich uranium above 3.67% purity.
