Nuclear warriors warrior in the Iranian war with the United States

At that time, the young real estate lawyer named Steve Witkev was hanging Donald Trump in the eighties of the last century in New York, and Abbas Aragchi was working with the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps on the mountainous lines of the brutal Iraqi war.

Now, after four decades, the 62-year-old was the choice of the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khawni to lead Iran in talks with Witkov, Trump’s envoy, who could determine whether the country is highlighting a nuclear deal with the United States-or descending into a military conflict.

The British Minister of Foreign Affairs, known for his rest, assisted in 2015 The nuclear agreement With the global powers that Trump abandoned during his first term as an American president, an experience that left the diplomat in a good position to try to get rid of a deal.

It is important, politicians, diplomats and analysts say that Aragchi is standing as a person who managed to remain above the bad political fighting in Iran and sow support through competing factions. He was submitted to the job during the reference president, Masoud Bizishian, and he also has roots in the conservative circles through his prominent religious family and maintains links with the revolutionary guards.

“He is the right person at the right time to play a historical role, and all political factions agree on that,” said Saeed Lilas, the reformist analyst. “His political, diplomatic and security credentials, along with his experience in nuclear talks, have put it in a unique position.”

The United States and Iran held a fourth round of indirect talks in Amman on Sunday, as Islamic State Department spokesman Esmaeil Baqei described it as “difficult but useful.”

Unlike Araghchi, Witkoff did not have previous diplomatic experience Before Trump was appointed to him. However, both have the full confidence of their leaders, which raises initial hopes that the penetration is possible, despite the lack of confidence and the complexity of reaching an acceptable deal for both sides.

Iranian analysts believe that any possible deal will partially depend on the man’s personal relationship. Aragici, who is guarding in his public comments, repeatedly said he was “cautious optimism.”

However, the two countries appear Away from decisive issuesSome Western and regional diplomats still believe that the military conflict is a high possibility.

US officials presented mixed messages about their Tehran. On Friday, Whittvart told the Islamic Republic that the Islamic Republic had to dismantle its three main nuclear facilities and warned that if the talks did not take on Sunday, “they will not continue and we will have to take a different road.”

“This is our red line. No fertilization. This means disintegration,” he said. Foreign Minister Marco Rubio said that the United States may accept Iran to retain a nuclear program if it stops enriching the articles of Anchawati locally and importing.

This, in turn, is a red line for IranWho insists that the country must be able to continue enriching uranium for civil purposes. Iran has indicated that it is ready to provide guarantees guaranteeing the international community for the peaceful intention of the program.

According to the 2015 joint plan for the 2015 (JCPOA), Iran agreed to strict restrictions on nuclear activity, but it was able to continue to enrich a limited amount of uranium up to 3.67 percent. Since the deal collapsed, Iran has increased an allocation of up to 60 percent, near the degree of weapons.

Araghchi has also resisted any American attempts to expand the talks to include its missile capabilities and regional security strategy. Before Sunday talks, he said that Iranian nuclear rights were “not negotiable.” “The fertilization was one of the achievements of the Iranian people,” he said.

Western diplomats in Tehran respect what they say is the ingenuity of Aragici. He was born in Tehran for a well -known commercial family. After fighting in the Iran and Iraq war, he obtained a doctorate in politics at Kent University before entering foreign service, where he worked as an ambassador in Finland and Japan and the Deputy Foreign Minister during previous nuclear talks.

It is important, Aragchchi was not a victim of the political fighting that overwhelmed former President Hassan Rohani and his minister Mohamed Javad Zarif, JCPOA engineers who were later marginalized by the militants for their role in the deal.

“Aragchchi avoids the controversial policy. This is a power in the current climate,” said Rahman Ghazramanor, an foreign policy expert in foreign policy close to former negotiators. “Even militants now feel they have a class in conversations – unlike before, when they felt excluded and insulted.”

The reformist President PEZESHKIAN maintained a low decrease, which analysts explain as a deliberate step to avoid giving militants and giving Araghchi to contact the revolutionary guards, the most powerful military establishment in Iran with a vast political influence, and KHANENEI, who has direct access.

Although “the real leadership of the talks falls with Mr. Khamna and the security forces,” the minister “is so coordinated with them so that there are no gaps in this process hardly.”

The talks come at a time when Iran has been involved in its grave crisis since the war of the eighties.

During the past 18 months, Israel launched the devastating attacks against Iranian agents such as Hezbollah, while the Islamic Republic also lost a major ally with the collapse of the Assad regime in Syria. The strikes that reach Israel with Israel last year are exposed in Iranian military infrastructure, as Israel claims to have achieved a component of the Iranian nuclear program.

The new US sanctions imposed during the Trump era, part of his “maximum pressure” campaign, added to economic weakness.

To alleviate Iran’s isolation and building support for a nuclear agreement, Aragcha has traveled widely in recent weeks, surrounding allies such as Russia and China as well as regional powers such as Saudi Arabia, which opposed the 2015 agreement but now supports a diplomatic solution.

However, Aragchi knows that, without results, his political capital at home may not last forever.

Hermanur said: “He is completely aware of what JCPOA engineers are surrounded – and he knows that he can happen to him,” said Hermanur. “For this reason, he avoids exaggerated optimism. It always stresses that he is” optimistic with caution ” – only if the conversations fail.”
