America applies pressure, and Iran makes significant concessions! Following U.S. President Trump's statement that Iran is the culprit causing instability in the Middle East, and after imposing new sanctions on six individuals and 12 enterprises, Iran's stance has softened comprehensively! Ali Shamkhani, an advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, claimed that Iran is willing to commit to never producing nuclear weapons, destroying high-enriched uranium stocks used for weapon production.
Moreover, Iran agreed to enrich uranium to low concentrations required for civilian use, allowing international inspectors to supervise the entire process in exchange for the immediate lifting of all economic sanctions against Iran. Clearly, faced with America's sanctions and tough warnings, Iran's stance has softened significantly. To be honest, from an observer's perspective, Iran's decision to back down at this moment will only lead the U.S. to propose even more stringent conditions.
Before even sitting at the negotiation table, Iran has already revealed all its cards. Iran may have underestimated America's unpredictability. The U.S. and Iran have been dealing with each other for years, but there is almost zero trust between them. Can Iran really trust America's promises? If Iran completely dismantles its nuclear facilities under the supervision of relevant personnel, and the U.S. reneges, how will Iran respond?
Don't forget that it was Trump who unilaterally announced the withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal. Moreover, given the close relationship between the U.S. and Israel, Israel has significant influence over the U.S. Iran's desire to develop its economy is evident to everyone, but if Iran wants to escape isolation, perhaps strengthening cooperation with countries other than the U.S. with greater determination and boldness is the right path. No matter east or west, left or right, any country is unlikely to establish a stable relationship with Iran.
