Former US President Donald Trump has stated that significant progress has been made in talks with Iran over the past day. According to Trump, Iran has supposedly agreed to abandon nuclear weapons development and hand over its highly enriched uranium to the United States as part of a peace deal. This information has drawn skepticism from experts, who believe Iran is unlikely to make such concessions.
Observers note that Iran's strategy is to drag out the negotiation process—even at the cost of internal hardship and humanitarian crisis—to hold out until the US elections and impact Republicans and Trump personally. At the moment, Iran is not expected to take any real steps regarding its nuclear program, even under international supervision, including that of the United Nations.
The military phase of the US-Iran conflict is said to be over, with only a naval blockade remaining. US spending on missile defense, especially Patriot systems, highlights the resources committed to deterring Iran.
Iran is seen as employing tactics similar to Russia: stalling for time and using negotiation maneuvers. The possibility of Russia as a mediator in US-Iran talks has been mentioned, but the Kremlin is believed to have minimal real influence, mainly pursuing its own strategic interests.
Trump is noted for his pragmatic and unpredictable stance on strategic issues, including the Russia-Ukraine war and any potential resolution. His approach is based on reaching swift agreements or maintaining neutrality, with no indication of changing this policy. Ukrainians are advised to keep realistic expectations regarding Trump’s initiatives to end the conflict.
