Trump Frustrated As Iran 'Much More Aggressive' In Nuclear Negotiations

President Donald Trump stated in a Fox News interview that Iran is becoming more aggressive in nuclear negotiations. Trump clarified that he would not allow Tehran to enrich uranium on its soil, contradicting recent reports. Iran is expected to submit a counter-proposal ahead of the sixth round of indirect talks with the US in Muscat, Oman, on June 15. Trump expressed disappointment and surprise at Iran's changed stance, saying they are asking for things that cannot be given. Iran's Ayatollah has made it clear that Tehran won't give up its enrichment program, which it claims is for peaceful nuclear energy purposes. Trump has blasted this position as "unacceptable" and warned that Tehran could face bombs if a deal isn't reached. Israel has threatened a potential preemptive strike, prompting Iran to warn that it could target Israel's facilities if attacked. The issue of Israel's undeclared nuclear weapons program has been raised, with Iran and regional Muslim-majority nations calling out Western hypocrisy on the issue. The current talks aim to reestablish a monitoring regimen similar to the prior Obama JCPOA nuclear deal, which Trump unilaterally pulled the US out of in 2018.
