Big information has come to light regarding the ongoing nuclear deal talks between America and Iran. According to American media reports, there is currently little possibility of any formal agreement being signed between the two countries on Sunday, because talks are still going on on many important issues. According to the report, US President Donald Trump had earlier indicated that the agreement could be finalized by Sunday. However, a senior US administration official said that many important parts of the draft deal are still to be agreed upon.
Iran agrees to open Hormuz and deplete uranium reserves?
Iran has agreed in principle to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and eliminate its stockpile of highly enriched uranium, CNN reports. But the decision has not yet been taken on how this uranium will be destroyed and for how long the ban on uranium enrichment will last in the future.
Meanwhile, Trump said on the social media platform Truth Social that America will not make a hasty agreement under any circumstances. He clearly said that the American ‘blockade’ imposed on Iran’s ports will continue until a formal and certified agreement is signed between the two countries.
Criticism of the agreement made during the Obama administration
Trump criticized the Iran nuclear deal signed during the era of former President Barack Obama, calling it ‘the worst deal in American history’. He said the Obama administration’s deal was a path forward for Iran toward nuclear weapons capability, while his government’s current negotiations do the exact opposite.
Trump’s clear instructions to American representatives
Trump also said that negotiations between the US and Iran are progressing in a balanced and constructive manner, but the US representatives have been given clear instructions not to rush as time is on the US’s side. He also reiterated that Iran will not be allowed to develop or acquire nuclear weapons at any cost. According to Trump, relations between the two countries are now becoming more professional and productive. Although there have been signs of progress in the talks, US officials believe that it is not yet clear whether the current draft will be able to turn into a final and legally binding agreement.
