US President Donald Trump mentioned that Iran’s current vulnerabilities could make it more open to discussions due to domestic unrest and international sanctions. From Air Force One, Trump stressed diplomacy over conflict but cautioned about the severe repercussions of failed talks. He expressed a desire for Iran to prosper but emphasized the imperative of them refraining from acquiring nuclear weapons.
Diplomatic talks are scheduled in Muscat between US envoy Witkoff and Iranian Deputy FM Araghchi, with the nature still uncertain as Iran prefers mediated discussions only. The talks come amid Iran facing setbacks like Israeli strikes on Hamas and Hezbollah, US airstrikes on Iran-backed Houthis in Yemen, and attacks on military sites, including nuclear-related facilities, by Israel.
Iran’s economy faces challenges due to years of sanctions, including new ones from the US Treasury. Iran has surpassed the 2015 nuclear deal limits on uranium enrichment, raising concerns about its nuclear weapon capabilities. While Trump insists on complete dismantling of Iran’s nuclear program, he and his advisers are open to flexibility.
