Western nations, with the US ahead, accuse Iran of developing nuclear weapons
On Sunday (6), it expressed his refusal to establish direct negotiations with those about his nuclear program, even in the face of the threats given by the president. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abás Araqchi argued that it makes no sense to dialogue with a nation that resorts to “by force and whose representatives issue contradictory positions.” He reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to diplomacy, highlighting the willingness to indirect conversations.
Western nations, with the US ahead, accuse Iran of seeking the development of nuclear weapons, an allegation that Tehran vehemently denies that their nuclear activities have civil purposes. In an attempted dialogue, Trump sent a letter to Iranian leaders requesting negotiations, but also threatened to bombard the country if conversations did not advance, and announce new sanctions to the Iranian oil sector.
In 2015, Iran and the permanent members of the UN Security Council, along with Germany, signed an agreement aimed at monitoring the country’s nuclear activities. This pact provided for the reduction of sanctions in exchange for a more rigorous supervision. However, in 2018, Trump decided to withdraw the United States from the agreement, reestablishing the sanctions that had been suspended.
