Fresh nuclear talks between the United States and Iran are planned for this weekend with high stakes involved. Israel and the U.S. view Iran as a rogue regime seeking to develop weapons of mass destruction, while Iran faces a choice between giving up its nuclear aspirations and becoming more vulnerable or continuing with nuclear development and risking an attack from Israel and the U.S.
President Trump announced the upcoming negotiations, which Iran’s Foreign Minister quickly clarified would be indirect for now. The American team is taking a tough stance with fresh sanctions issued, and Trump threatening Iran with bombing if a deal is not reached. The talks aim to end Iran’s nuclear program, continuing from when Trump withdrew from the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal.
Talks also come amid warnings of Iran accelerating uranium enrichment and in the midst of conflicts in the Middle East involving Iran’s allies. Experts predict that the U.S. may demand Iran give up its entire nuclear program, but the immediate alternative to failed talks may not be war.
Both sides will use the indirect talks to assess each other’s intentions, but there is a sense of urgency as Israel and Republican hawks in Washington believe the time is right for military action against Iran’s nuclear sites. The outcome of these talks will have significant implications for the region and global security.
