Amidst the long-running tension between America and Iran, both sides came together at the negotiating table in Oman. During the talks, Iran rejected American demands to end uranium enrichment or take it out of the country. No consensus was reached on the issues on which there were differences in the talks mediated by Oman. However, both sides agreed to continue talks to avoid increasing tension.
Iran will not stop uranium enrichment
Tehran has bluntly said that it will not stop its uranium enrichment or even take it out of Iran. According to Iranian state TV, after the talks in Oman’s capital Muscat, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said, ‘It is important to avoid threats and pressure in any talks. Tehran only discusses its nuclear issue. We do not discuss any other issue with America. I think we will reach a good agreement.
Iran refused to talk about other issues
Iran’s nuclear program was sure to be a part of these discussions. However, before the talks began, US officials had said that it should also include the issue of Iran’s ballistic missiles and its support to extremist groups in the Middle East. However, Iran’s Foreign Minister rejected this and said, ‘We are not discussing any other issue with the Americans.’ The US delegation in Oman is led by President Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner.
What are Trump’s demands?
White House Press Secretary Secretary Carolyn Leavitt said before the meeting, ‘Diplomacy is always the first option for President Donald Trump in dealing with countries around the world, whether they are our allies or our enemies. The President has stated very clearly about his demands from the Iranian regime. He has been very clear about zero nuclear capability, and he wants to see if a deal can be made.
