Washington conditions Geneva negotiations on an Iranian proposal and questions in the White House about 'not surrendering'

Responsible sources revealed a US approach to discuss the possibility of reaching a temporary nuclear agreement with Tehran, as a preemptive step before any comprehensive understandings about the Iranian nuclear program. These moves come at a sensitive time when the region is witnessing an escalation in political and military rhetoric between the two parties, with international attempts to bridge views and avoid direct confrontation.

The US administration set a clear time condition for resuming dialogue, as Washington expressed its readiness to hold a new round of talks in the Swiss city of Geneva next Friday. This date is linked to the seriousness of Tehran in submitting a technical and detailed proposal within the next forty-eight hours, which Washington considers a test of Iranian intentions before engaging in a new diplomatic round.

For his part, Steve Witkoff, the special envoy of US President Donald Trump, expressed the administration's surprise at the continued Iranian stance refusing to compromise. Witkoff indicated in media statements that President Trump is wondering about the reasons that prevent Iran from 'surrendering' to the current pressures and agreeing to curb its nuclear ambitions definitively, especially in light of the economic crises it faces.

In the context of field escalation, sources reported that President Trump issued orders for an unprecedented military buildup of US forces in the Middle East. These preparations include plans for the possibility of launching a large-scale air attack on Iranian facilities that could last for several weeks, putting the region on the brink of a comprehensive military explosion if the diplomatic path fails.

In contrast, Tehran did not remain silent in the face of these threats, as the Iranian leadership threatened to target all US military bases deployed in the region. Iranian sources confirmed that any aggression against its territory would be met with a crushing response that would affect US interests and its allies, stressing that the policy of 'maximum pressure' would not force the country to abandon its nuclear rights.

The US envoy warned of the technical development reached by the Iranian nuclear program, noting that uranium enrichment operations have reached 60 percent. Witkoff considered that this percentage far exceeds civilian energy needs, stressing that Tehran may be only one week away from possessing industrial-grade materials suitable for producing nuclear warheads, which represents a red line for Washington.

In a remarkable political move, Witkoff revealed a meeting he had with Reza Pahlavi, the son of the deposed Shah of Iran, based on direct instructions from President Trump. Although the details of the discussions were not disclosed, this meeting indicates Washington's desire to coordinate with Iranian opposition figures abroad to increase internal pressure on the ruling regime in Tehran.

Pahlavi had previously called for the necessity of US military intervention to end what he described as the suffering of the Iranian people, considering that military decisive action could save many lives. He urged the US administration to stop prolonging negotiations with Tehran, considering that procrastination gives the Iranian regime enough time to complete its nuclear project and threaten regional security.

Why, under these pressures, and with all this enormous naval power there, have they not come to us and said we declare that we do not want a weapon?
