The “last snapshot” of diplomacy to cancel Israel’s browsing Iran

Diplomacy will have a “last snapshot” within the next two weeks to bring Israel’s conflict Iran To some extent, according to one American and European diplomat, the window set by President Trump this week as it is Decide Whether it is the involvement of the United States in Israel’s attack against Iran.

These efforts were on Friday, when Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi met with European foreign ministers in Geneva in the face of the continuous bombing campaign for Israel and the American military accumulation in the region.

French Foreign Minister Jean -Noel Barrot, UK Foreign Minister David Lami, German Foreign Minister Johan Wadil, and the UEFA Supreme Union diplomat, Kaja Calas, attended the Geneva meeting with Aragshi. Lami met with Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Middle East envoy Steve Whizov at the White House on Thursday.

The Geneva meeting continued for nearly four hours – twice the duration of schedule – and after that, Barrot indicated that there will be other conversations and told the reporters, “The problem of the Iranian nuclear program cannot be solved by military means” alone. Lami said: “We were clear: Iran could not have a nuclear weapon.”

Aragici also spoke after the meeting and said that Iran had supported continuous discussions.

“Iran is ready to consider diplomacy again, adding:” I confirm that the Iranian defense capabilities are not negotiable. (But) expressed our willingness to meet again in the near future. “

Iran’s supreme leader, Ali Khounai, is still the final decision maker, and it is not yet clear whether the ongoing Israeli air strikes and the imminent threat of the participation of the United States will bring him closer to a diplomatic slope more than that when he submitted the last proposal a few weeks ago. US DisplayThat are still on the table, would have allowed Iran to have a civil nuclear program if it agreed not to enrich uranium on its soil. Instead, Iran will be able to buy fertilized fuel from other countries. One of the suggestions included an Omani idea to establish a regional union that would allow enrichment of civil purposes under observation by the International Agency for Self -Energy and State.

It is believed that my raw, 86, is still fighting cancer and hiding from Israeli strikes. He did not respond to multiple initiatives from countries that seek to help cancel the escalation of the conflict.

It is not quite clear how much the Iranian government function at this moment. Internet connection and international calls in Iran It is difficult to complete, according to sources in the region. Electronic attacks have paralyzed the banking system, until Thursday, many diplomats have admitted factors such as these who made it difficult to arrange personal conversations with Aragchi.

The ongoing Israeli attack may make fear of fear of communication, and given concerns about avoiding intelligence objections that can be used goal He, one diplomatic source suggested.

Anyagchi is discussing with the West will eventually need the approval of the supreme leader, and the US expectations for a breakthrough during this meeting is low. But it is a beginning.

It remains to see whether the conversation in Geneva produced some reference to whether Iran is still open to direct talks with the United States – not only European countries – which is also trying to start through its personal communication.

Türkiye and Oman, as well as European countries, including Italy and Norway, offered to host direct or indirect talks between the United States and Iran, if Tehran chooses this path, according to two European diplomatic exporters. The Italian Foreign Minister said that Rubio told him on Thursday that the United States was ready for direct negotiations with their Iranian counterparts, and a French diplomat also said that Rubio conveyed the same message to Barrot. It is expected that the French Foreign Minister and the Foreign Minister will speak again after the Geneva consultations.

Mr. Trump has expressed his frustration in recent weeks that although Iran has reached the negotiating table, its leaders have not shown any willingness to actually negotiate. Iran has not made any response for two weeks to the latest American proposal in Witkeov and did not refuse or accept its conditions, as an American official said to the efforts of CBS News. Instead, Iranian leaders issued press data, but negotiators did not participate directly in the details or discuss the terms of the presentation. This lack of objective participation raised doubts from the Trump administration about whether Iran is participating in good negotiations or running around the clock.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly asked whether Iran’s leaders were playing with Mr. Trump and used uncertainty to justify his unilateral decision to launch military strikes. Many American and foreign diplomats have indicated that Mr. Trump did not bless the strikes or explicitly tell them Netanyahu that he should extend with them. Diplomatic sources recognize that Iran’s leaders may also ask about the degree of coordination between the United States and Israel and may also be not sure whether the diplomacy that has been having been in the United States is a trick to justify the use of the military force that Netanyahu has long called.

But one of the American officials confirmed that Mr. Trump’s interest in diplomacy was real, as well as his hatred to attract the American army into a war in the Middle East – especially without a clear feeling of what would come after that, in the event of the collapse of the Iranian regime.

American and European diplomats have confirmed that there are secret talks about who will lead Iran, whether nuclear sites and materials can be secured, and the implications of the environmental and possible health of regional allies from military strikes on nuclear facilities.

Meanwhile, the president still has the option to choose military force, including the capabilities of use for the first time in MP or Huge penetration ammunitionA 30,000 -pound capacity bomb, to destroy the underground nuclear facilities in Fordo.

In theory, Mr. Trump maintains the ability to launch a strike as he leaves the city in his golf resort in Pidinstter, New Jersey, on Friday and Saturday. A safe suite is prepared before reaching any location outside the city, and also has access to safe connections that allow him to give order on the road. While he was in his resort in Florida Golf, Mar Lago, he ordered a strike against Syria in 2017, and the Iranian general in 2020.

Meanwhile, the American intelligence evaluation remains that my crude did not order the resumption of the nuclear weapons program that Iran suspended in 2003. But Iran has accumulated a quantity of enriched nuclear fuel that could be matched with an advanced missile or a more clear needle in a short condition if the supreme leader was requested. It remains an open question whether the Fordo bombing will lead to Iran’s leaders operating towards creating a bomb or completely ending the program.
