Donald Trump’s ‘contradictory narratives’ in dealing with Iran: Analyst​

Middle East analyst Hassan Mneimneh said that the Trump administration has issued two contradictory narratives on its approach to Iran.
One narrative insists that the US is “just demanding a return to the negotiations” and there is no intent to attack Iran “at the moment”.
The second narrative, which Trump appears to be promoting personally through “snippets and sound bites”, is that the US is colluding with Israel in its war on Iran. Trump is “applauding what Israel is doing and preparing, it seems, for an action on the part of the US”, Mneimneh told Al Jazeera.
“Which one is it in reality? Clearly, we are not in a position to know. But only the second narrative seems to be supported by facts,” he said.
“One cannot conceive of a situation in which the US will accept the type of parity that Iran has succeeded in establishing in terms of causing harm. At least it doesn’t have the ability to destroy any kind of programme in Israel. But the ongoing war does not seem to be able to stop unless there is some sort of US intervention – or a diplomatic one,” he said.

White House seeks talks with Iran on nuclear deal, ceasefire: Reports​

The Axios news outlet is reporting that the White House is in discussions with Iran on the possibility of a meeting between US envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi this week.
Citing four sources briefed on the issue, the outlet said the objective of the meeting would be “to discuss a diplomatic initiative involving a nuclear deal and an end to the war between Israel and Iran”.
The report comes hours after the CNN broadcaster also reported that Trump has directed members of his team to “attempt a meeting with Iranian officials as quickly as possible”.
CNN quoted a US official as saying that nothing is yet set, but that Israel and Iran were moving in the right direction.
Trump, meanwhile, has left the G7 summit in Canada early and US media say he is expected to meet his national security staff in Washington, DC, soon after his arrival. Earlier, he also issued a threat on social media, telling residents of Tehran to leave the city immediately.

It’s honestly crazy the tech we have today. These things can hit a targeted unit directly from that distance.

Yet we can’t have basic necessities.

For those also wondering, Iran officials have stated they’ve achieved 60% uranium enrichment themselves back in 2021.

"We do not support and do not think it's at all helpful that Iran is saying it's going to move to enrich to 60 percent," Biden told reporters in Washington during a joint news conference with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.
"We are, though, nonetheless pleased that Iran has continued to agree to engage in discussions - indirect discussions - with us and with our partners on how we move forward and what is needed to allow us to move back into the (nuclear deal) ... without us making concessions that we are just not willing to make," Biden added.
Iran had in recent months already raised enrichment to 20% purity, a level at which uranium is considered to be highly enriched and a significant step toward weapons-grade.
A 2015 deal with world powers to rein in Iran's nuclear ambitions in return for the lifting of sanctions had capped the level of purity at 3.67%. Iran denies seeking a nuclear weapon.
"We are producing about 9 grams of 60% enriched uranium an hour," Ali Akbar Salehi, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, told state television.


"But we have to work on arrangements ... to drop it to 5 grams per hour. But then we will simultaneously produce 20% (uranium)," Salehi said.
Earlier, Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said Iranian scientists had successfully started enriching 60% uranium at 40 minutes past midnight.
"The will of the Iranian nation makes miracles that thwart any conspiracy," Qalibaf wrote on Twitter.
In Vienna, a spokesman for the United Nations nuclear watchdog IAEA declined to comment on the Iranian statements about 60% enrichment.

Like Physics tells us they can get weapons grade uranium in a few weeks from there. Only thing that can stop them at this point is destroying that facility.
