Washington: Amidst the ongoing tension between America and Iran, the conflict over the nuclear programme seems to be increasing once again. US President Donald Trump is continuously saying that he will not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons. At the same time, Iran has reportedly refused to send its enriched uranium reserves out of the country. This stance of Iran may make the path of a possible agreement between the two countries difficult. Meanwhile, Pakistan is also making efforts to hold talks between the two countries, but till now no concrete success has been achieved.
What did Iran say to America regarding uranium?
Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezai clarified Tehran’s stance on nuclear material during a meeting with Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir on Tuesday. According to the Times of Israel report, Rezai said that Iran will not send its enriched uranium out of the country.
Describing it as the national property of the Iranian people, he said that it will be used within the country only. This statement by Rezai indicates that Iran is not ready to soften its stance regarding nuclear material.
What condition did Iran set for talks with America?
Rezai said that America will have to take initiative to restore trust between the two countries. According to him, negotiations will not start until America takes steps towards meeting Iran’s conditions.
This stance of Iran has come at a time when diplomatic efforts are being made to end the conflict between the two countries. The different demands of both sides regarding the nuclear program could become a major obstacle in a possible agreement.
What came out of Asim Munir’s visit to Iran?
Pakistan has been trying to hold talks between America and Iran for a long time. In this connection, Pakistani Army Chief Asim Munir visited Iran on Tuesday.
However, Rezai’s statement indicated that it would not be easy to reach a consensus between the two sides on the issue of nuclear material. Whether the talks will move forward with the mediation of Pakistan or not, it may become clear in the coming days.
What did Trump claim about Iran war?
US President Donald Trump claimed last week that the war with Iran could end soon. He had said that after the end of the conflict, gas prices in America may come down to even lower levels than before.
Trump also claimed that US actions had damaged Iran’s nuclear capability. However, controversy remains over the future of Iran’s nuclear programme and its enriched uranium.
Will the war between America and Iran end soon?
Iran’s demand not to send nuclear material out of the country and to fulfil its conditions before talks has challenged peace efforts. On the other hand, the Trump administration is emphasising preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.
In such a situation, to end the conflict, it will be important to restore trust between the two countries and reach a consensus on the nuclear programme. At present, the path to any agreement does not seem easy between Iran’s tough stance and America’s demands.
