US raises the stakes - Iran received new demands
The US administration has presented Iran with a new condition for resolving the conflict: Vice President JD Vance linked a potential agreement to reducing Iran's uranium enrichment capabilities. The key disagreement remains: the US demands concessions before easing pressure, while Tehran insists on compensation before meeting Washington's demands. An Iranian official stated that negotiations are not taking place and that Vance's comments are merely "ideas and demands" from the Americans.
The US administration has presented Iran with a new condition for resolving the conflict, which has led to a new impasse in negotiations. Vice President JD Vance linked a potential agreement to reducing Iran's uranium enrichment capabilities. The key disagreement remains: the US demands specific concessions before easing pressure, while Tehran wants compensation before meeting Washington's demands. An Iranian official stated that no negotiations between Iran and the US on the nuclear program have taken place, and that Vance's comments are "ideas and demands" from the Americans. He emphasized that the US must first meet Tehran's conditions before discussing the nuclear file, and that recognition of Iran's right to enrichment is a "red line." At the same time, Iran does not intend to abandon its right to enrich uranium, but specific parameters could become the subject of further negotiations. Earlier, it was reported that Qatar stated it is continuing to seek ways to end the war, despite a lack of progress after seven months of conflict. US President Donald Trump also stated that the war with Iran would soon end.
