PNN – CNN reported that while Donald Trump is trying to “delay his decision on Iran” after the third round of Geneva talks and the US military buildup in the region, his options regarding Tehran appear to be “rapidly narrowing.”
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, the CNN news network website wrote: After the end of the third round of talks in Geneva and the agreement to hold another meeting at the “technical level” in Vienna next week, the White House must assess whether the resumed diplomacy will be fruitful.
Referring to the deployment of US “air and naval forces” in the region, the American network emphasized: However, this situation does not give the US president absolute power.
CNN further claimed: The United States has chosen diplomacy first. This is important, because it is clear that previous attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities have not achieved the desired result, despite Trump’s claim last year that the nuclear program had been “destroyed.” The US administration likely believes that a diplomatic solution would better achieve its goals.
The news network asked: Is America’s goal simply to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon or to completely halt uranium enrichment? It added: However, America’s position remains complex and it is unclear exactly what Washington’s red lines are.
The report also states: A quick agreement is possible because the 2015 agreement [the JCPOA] under former US President Barack Obama provided the framework and infrastructure for inspections. At the same time, the negotiating teams do not have to reinvent the wheel, which may be a bonus for US envoy Steve Whittkof.
The most difficult and intensive round of negotiations between Iran and the United States was held in Geneva on Thursday, while the atmosphere there indicates that the negotiations are moving forward and new developments in this regard should be observed.
In this process, after three hours of negotiations and exchange of views, the delegations took a few hours of rest to coordinate the negotiation topics with the capitals and followed up on the second phase of the talks. This is considered one of the longest dialogue processes in recent negotiation periods, which is unprecedented.
