# Iran-USA: Negotiations or War?

Over the past month and a half, international media and experts have continuously discussed US-Iran relations, reducing them to the question "will they strike or not?". Against this backdrop, negotiations between the two countries have once again come to the forefront: today another round was held in Geneva. This indicates that the current US-Iran confrontation cannot be reduced to simple schemes and is influenced by numerous global and regional factors. However, it should be noted that the return to negotiations this time differs from previous stages.

This is stated in the latest analytical report on the Azad İran YouTube channel.

"Today's discussions are taking place against the backdrop of continuous buildup of American military forces in the Persian Gulf region, memories of the war between Israel and Iran that occurred last year, bloody internal protests that shook the Tehran regime, as well as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's urgent visit to Washington. That is, we are talking not only about the level of uranium enrichment or the number of centrifuges, but also about the balance of power in the region and the calculations of the Trump administration, oscillating between war and agreement.

In this context, statements from the Iranian side appear carefully weighed. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi characterized the discussions held ten days ago in Muscat as a "good beginning" and emphasized that the discussions held concerned exclusively the nuclear issue. Araghchi noted that distrust is a serious problem in the negotiation process and any progress requires the elimination of mutual suspicions. Iran's message is clear: Tehran is ready to discuss the nuclear program within certain frameworks, however, it does not consider it acceptable to include the missile program or regional policy on the agenda," the material states.
