On Saturday, in the desert Oman, representatives of Iran and the USA will meet at the first conversations of the highest rank between the two countries since 2022. US President Donald Trump said in relation to negotiations: – I think everyone agrees that the agreement would be better than “obviousness”.
Through “obviousness” he means a military attack.
Iran wants a “limited agreement”
What is the main topic of conversations? Iran currently enriches uranium to 60 percent, which makes it a material almost suitable for weapon production. Trump, however, made it clear that Iran can never have an atomic bomb.

The US is therefore in favor of further inspections to enrich uranium. It means above all better access to UN inspectors. On the other hand, Iran threatened to expose inspectors or complete cooperation in the event of too much pressure.
– Iran strives for a very limited agreement that “freezes” his nuclear program in its current state, but he will not undo it – explains Michael Horowitz, an expert for geopolitics, in an interview with “Bild”. This means that Iran wants to remain very close to obtaining a nuclear bomb, but he would commit to “not passing the nuclear threshold”.
On the other hand, The United States “wants to withdraw the Iranian nuclear program, Especially in all areas that are not of a civil nature, “says Horowitz.
– Tehran will most likely offer a limited, “temporary” agreement to freeze tensions, something that Trump can present as “success” – predicts an expert.

Iran can also be open to a more far -reaching agreement. However, according to Horowitz, “probably It would be just a way to buy time And waiting for Trump to lose interest. “
The expert does not think that the soon US attack on Iran is likely, despite the sharp rhetoric. However, he believes that Trump “can be prepared for providing Israel weapons necessary to attack Iranespecially one that Israel does not have himself if Iran rejects any agreement. “
This applies to bombs that destroy bunkers that hit deep underground. The potential goal could be Iranian underground nuclear objects, e.g. Natanz.
