๐ฎ๐ท ๐บ๐ธ Diplomacy in Tehran: A Path Toward a New Nuclear Deal?
The "ball is in America's court," says Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi in an exclusive sit-down with the BBC. ๐๏ธ After a period of intense regional tension and military build-up, there are fresh signs that both Tehran and Washington might be ready to move back to the negotiating table in Geneva. ๐ค
๐๏ธ Key Takeaways from the Interview:
Sanctions for Uranium: Iran has expressed a willingness to dilute its 60%-enriched uranium (near weapons-grade) if the U.S. is ready to discuss lifting economic sanctions. ๐ฐโ๏ธ
The "Zero Enrichment" Debate: While President Trump recently stated he wants "zero enrichment," Takht-Ravanchi claims that private messages suggest a more flexible focus solely on the nuclear file, rather than broader regional issues. โ๏ธ
Missile Red Lines: Iran remains firm on its missile program, citing them as essential defensive tools. ๐๐ก๏ธ
A "Traumatic" Alternative: Both sides acknowledge that another war in the region would be "bad for everybody," with regional powers like Oman and Qatar working overtime to mediate. ๐๏ธ๐
Despite the skepticism from international observers and a history of broken trust, the presence of high-level figures like Jared Kushner at recent talks signals a potential shift toward serious engagement. Will diplomacy prevail over "maximalist demands"? Only timeโand the upcoming rounds in Genevaโwill tell. ๐๏ธโจ
