‼️ US-Iran Talks Collapse Over Scope of Negotiations: Nuclear talks planned for Friday were canceled after Iran refused to expand discussions beyond the nuclear issue. US officials rejected Iran’s request to change the location and format of the tal
A senior US official told Axios: "We told them 'it is this or nothing', and they said, 'Ok, then nothing'." The official added: "If the Iranians are willing to go back to the original format, the U.S. is ready to meet this week or next week. We want to reach a real deal quickly or people will look at other options".
Senior US officials told Israeli Channel 12 that the talks were canceled due to Iran’s refusal to discuss non-nuclear issues.
Iranian officials reiterated that they will only negotiate the nuclear file. A senior Iranian official told Reuters: "Talks with the US in Oman will focus only on the nuclear issue — the missile program is not on the table". An Iranian official told Reuters: "The American insistence on discussing non-nuclear issues puts the talks at risk. Tehran is fully prepared to hold talks with Washington solely on the nuclear issue".
Iranian sources told Al-Araby that mediators are making efforts to resolve the situation and that contacts are still ongoing. An Iranian source told al-Mayadeen: "The US-Iran talks collapsed – it's a gap that cannot be bridged," adding, "We will not allow the raising of demands outside the framework of the nuclear issue in negotiations with Washington. Iran is still ready to negotiate. Iran is more prepared militarily than diplomatically, and its finger is on the trigger".
🚨 President Trump Issues Direct Warnings to Iran: President Trump said: "[Iranian Supreme Leader] Khamenei should be worried". He also said: "I heard that Iran is trying to restart its nuclear program, and we will send fighter jets again if they do that".
President Trump added: "We discovered that the Iranians were planning to build a new nuclear site in another area. We found out about it. I said, 'If you do that, we're going to do very bad things to you'".
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said: "For talks to lead to something significant, they must also address Iran's ballistic missile program". Rubio added: "I'm not sure if we'll be able to reach an agreement with the Iranians".
US officials told Reuters: "President Trump is now leaning towards military action in Iran".
⚠️ Israel Signals Readiness to Strike Iranian Strategic Programs: After the collapse of talks, Israeli officials estimate a high chance of a US attack on Iran. Arab mediators tried this evening to persuade Iran to agree to discuss additional issues, but Iranian officials had already told them yesterday that they are only ready to discuss the nuclear issue.
Israeli assessments state that Israel will attack Iran’s ballistic missile program at the first operational opportunity. Israeli assessments also state that Israel intends to target every component of Iran’s nuclear project, with expectations that the IDF will strike sooner or later.
