The U.S.-Iran negotiations failed to reach a consensus, and Iran's Foreign Minister frankly stated: "facing serious challenges"
As expected, the U.S. and Iran negotiations failed to reach a consensus.
On the 6th, the Wall Street Journal disclosed some details of the U.S.-Iran negotiations. After the meeting, Iran's Foreign Minister Zarif said in an interview that the mutual distrust currently existing is a serious challenge for the negotiations, which must be resolved first before moving on to the next stage of negotiations.
At the same time, Trump also made a statement on the situation of the negotiations, saying that he believes Iran "seems very eager to reach an agreement," but he still hasn't received the exact draft of the agreement, and Iran must stop developing nuclear weapons.
In general, the current points of contention between the United States and Iran are:
Iran has no intention of manufacturing nuclear weapons, but it uses the "nuclear possession" posture to exchange for the U.S. to lift sanctions;
While the United States never cares whether Iran is really building nuclear weapons or playing the "nuclear possession card," it requires Iran to hand over all the enriched uranium - but this point is difficult for Iran to accept, because handing over enriched uranium would effectively eliminate one of Iran's bargaining chips in its dealings with the United States.
That's not even mentioning the other negotiation demand from Israel to Iran, which is to require Iran to abandon the development of ballistic missiles.
Therefore, although both the U.S. and Iran have stated that they will continue to push forward the negotiations, given the fundamental differences in their demands, this round of negotiations is likely to end without any result. The reason why Trump is now willing to engage with Iran is simply waiting for the military preparations of the U.S. forces to be ready.
