There will be a new round of conversations probably on Saturday (19), in a place yet to be defined
São Paulo SP (Folhapress) – and Iran agreed to continue negotiations about the Tehran nuclear program after the first high level meeting among the countries on the subject in years, which took place on Saturday (12) under the mediation of the Oman’s government.
He told his country’s state TV that there will be a new round of conversations probably on Saturday (19), in a place yet to be defined. He led the Persian delegation, while the Americans were under the command of Donald Trump’s favorite negotiator Steve Witkoff.
After the meeting, he said it in a statement that the conversations were “very positive and constructive.” According to the US, Witkoff told Araqchi that he seeks to find “a solution through dialogue and diplomacy.” That both sides have not gone by knocking on the door can be considered good news, given the pessimism and tension surrounding the negotiations. “Neither parties seek useless conversations, as conversations like this are a waste of time,” said Araqchi.
The American goal is to prevent Aiatolahs from developing the goal at which they are close. Tehran wants the end of the economic sanctions that strangle it. How to do this to please everyone is a tight knot. Trump had sent an ultimatum to Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, giving until early May for the country to accept negotiating. At the same time, he began an ostensible military climb, positioning at least 6, and perhaps 10 of his 19 stealing bombers to the B-2 radar on the base of Diego Garcia, Indian.
It is the ideal point for attacks on the Middle East, as combat aircraft can be replenished until targeting, but their point of origin is far enough to be protected from missiles from regional rivals. Khamenei initially rejected the conversations. That would actually go to the way if they did not happen, and also sent to the region another group of aircraft carrier to join what already acts against the Allies of Iran in Yemen.
Pressured, and accepted what he calls indirect negotiation in Oman. The conversations obey a picturesque ritual: the American team is in one room and the Iranian in another. Local Chancellor, Badr Al-Busaidi, serves as a messenger side by side, seeking to trim edges along the way. At least this was the description of the procedures by Iranian diplomatic spokesman, Esmaeil Baghaei, perhaps to please his domestic audience.
Araqchi said the heads of the two delegations were briefly after the two and a half hours indirect conversations. He said negotiations have passed “in a productive and positive atmosphere,” terms also used by his counterpart Ooman. No one expected any great agreement this Saturday. Since the same Trump, in his first term, left the 2015 agreement that aimed to avoid the construction of the Iranian bomb, the countries risk a war with unpredictable consequences.
That arrangement took two years to closed. Roughly speaking, it limited the production of fissile material from Iran and allowed inspections to ensure its peaceful purposes, as a nuclear fuel or for medical applications.
The deal was also banked by Iran’s allies such as Russia and China, European countries. Trump claimed that the sanctions raised by him only allowed Tehran to increase his nuclear capacity. When the American left, the Iranians accelerated the production of enriched uranium.
Despite the haughty rhetoric, Iran was also Oman due to the current fragility of its regime. From his ally Hamas’s attack to Israel in 2023 almost destroyed the first line of defense that Tehran had against the Jewish state, in the form of groups such as Gaza’s terrorist and Lebanese Hezbollah.
Even the exchange with Israel in 2024 was contained to avoid a larger climb. The regime faces economic and social difficulties, having seen protests on the streets often in recent years. It weighs in the account of Israel to attack Iranian nuclear facilities, something already explained by Trump’s ally Binyamin Netanyami Netanyahu. If Tel Aviv has no ability to destroy everything alone, together with the US, the story is different.
With A, there may be a new chapter in the crisis between Tehran and Washington, whose rivalry dates back to the Foundation of the Islamic Republic in 1979, which overthrew the US -backed regime from a coup in 1953.
