Now, it’s the worst time for the United States to participate in a military strike on Iran, “warned conservative commentator Tucker Carlson on Monday.” Nothing would be destructive for our country. And yet we are closer than ever, thanks to implacable pressures on the part of the neocons. It is suicidal. Anyone advocates a conflict with Iran is not an ally of the United States, enemy.”
Iran previously rejected the prospect of talks with Trump, the Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs Abbas Araghchi during the weekend, calling for the prospect of direct nuclear negotiations “devoid of meaning”. Iran asked for indirect diplomacy, questioning Trump’s approach: “If you want negotiations, then what is the point of threatening?” The Minister of Foreign Affairs said.
Israeli officials are wary that if Iran end up accepting such talks, it could serve the time for obligation for Tehran to strengthen its nuclear program. In addition, he could offer Iran a window of suspected to recover some of his steep Israeli offensive losses against Iran militant proxies in the region. This includes Hamas in Gaza, Hezbollah in Lebanon and Houthi activists in Yemen.
During Trump’s first term, he withdrew from the Iranian nuclear agreement which he had been criticized for a long time, abandoning an agreement which limited Tehran’s nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions.
Now he will have to balance a new diplomacy with Tehran with the prospect of having military consequences if these talks go south.
“Trump would like to avoid two things,” said Aaron David Miller, an expert in American policy from the Middle East to the Endowment for International Peace Carnegie. “Number: Iran crossing the nuclear threshold on its watch and number two, a major military operation in the United States or Israel which plunges the region into chaos.”
Iran continues to balance at the dawn of nuclear break. The United Nations nuclear guard dog reported in February that Iran had produced nearly 275 kilograms of uranium enriched at 60% – near the 90% threshold for weapons quality materials. An evaluation of the American intelligence services published publicly by the office of the national intelligence director last month said that “Khamenei did not re -authorize the nuclear weapon program”, but added that “the pressure was probably built on him to do so”.
