Iranian media claims the United States has refused to compensate Tehran for war-related damages and imposed strict nuclear conditions for reviving negotiations. Iran has also presented five demands, including sanctions relief and recognition of its rights in the Strait of Hormuz.
Nuclear negotiations between Iran and the United States appear to be entering a complicated phase once again, where both countries have put strict conditions before each other.
According to Iranian media reports, the United States has refused to pay compensation to Iran for war damages, while new conditions have also been imposed for the resumption of negotiations. Reports claim that Washington has demanded that Iran hand over 400 kilograms of enriched uranium.
According to the report, the US position is that Iran will have to limit itself to just one nuclear facility in the future, while a proposal not to restore a large part of Iran’s frozen assets is also under consideration.
On the other hand, Iran has also presented five important conditions for the resumption of negotiations. According to Iranian sources, Tehran has demanded that the ongoing military operations in the region, especially in Lebanon, be stopped immediately.
Iran has also demanded that all economic sanctions imposed on it be lifted and frozen assets located abroad be restored.
According to reports, Tehran has also made compensation for war losses and recognition of its “sovereign right” to the Strait of Hormuz as the main conditions for the negotiations.
According to Iranian media, Tehran fears that even if it accepts the US conditions, the threat of possible aggression from the US or Israel may still persist.
Some analysts say that the US proposals are not only aimed at limiting the nuclear programme but also at increasing political and diplomatic pressure on Iran.
According to experts, the current situation could further complicate the growing tension in the Middle East, especially at a time when the region is already experiencing conflicts on several fronts.
Political observers say that the severe lack of trust between the two countries remains the biggest obstacle to negotiations. Although diplomatic contacts are ongoing, the prospects for any major progress immediately appear limited.
According to international observers, the Strait of Hormuz, economic sanctions and nuclear activities will remain central topics in future negotiations, while the conflict may also have an impact on regional security.
