Iranian Nuclear Issue: Donald Trump Bets on Negotiation Despite Military Deployment

President Donald Trump has stated that Iran shows a willingness to reach an agreement to avoid a military confrontation with the United States. Although Tehran officially insists that its defense systems will never be subject to concessions, Washington continues to apply increased diplomatic and military pressure. As a substantial U.S. naval fleet deploys in the Gulf, the White House occupant emphasized that time is of the essence to renegotiate the Islamic Republic's nuclear program, conditioning any easing of tensions on the cessation of repression against Iranian protesters.

On its part, Iranian diplomacy is cautious, ruling out immediate talks while remaining open to dialogue based on mutual respect. Simultaneously, diplomatic activity intensifies with Moscow, as the Kremlin confirmed a meeting between Vladimir Putin and the Iranian Supreme National Security Council to discuss regional issues. Tehran continues to emphasize the peaceful nature of its nuclear activities, while its regional partners, including Turkey, are calling for fair conditions to facilitate a crisis resolution through negotiations.

This verbal escalation occurs within a tense domestic context in Iran, marked by a human toll reaching several thousand casualties during recent protests, according to human rights organizations. Donald Trump has tied the future of bilateral relations to two major imperatives: the definitive abandonment of any military nuclear ambitions and the cessation of violence against protesters. For now, uncertainty remains regarding the outcome of this showdown, as the presence of the American armada in the region highlights the fragility of stability in the Middle East.
