President Donald Trump received stark warnings from his top advisors regarding the challenges of negotiating a nuclear deal with Iran. According to a senior U.S. official, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner informed the President that achieving a satisfactory agreement with Tehran has historically proven to be “difficult to impossible.” This assessment was shared during a recent conversation, as reported by Barak Ravid of Israel’s Channel 12.
The discussion took place as Trump inquired about the feasibility of reaching a deal with Iranian leaders. Witkoff and Kushner emphasized that the West has struggled to secure favorable agreements with Iran in the past. Despite this, they assured Trump that they would adopt a firm stance in upcoming negotiations. “If they agree to what we are asking for, we will give you the option and you decide,” they reportedly conveyed to the President.
The United States has been actively seeking a diplomatic resolution to limit Iran’s nuclear capabilities and prevent potential military conflict. However, the initial round of negotiations, held in Oman this week, did not yield any agreement. A subsequent round of talks, featuring Witkoff and Kushner, is scheduled to take place on Tuesday in Geneva.
Trump has consistently stated that he is prepared to use military force if the regime led by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei fails to reach an agreement. In a recent statement, he warned that Iran would face a “very traumatic” moment if negotiations do not progress satisfactorily.
The political landscape surrounding the Iran nuclear deal continues to evolve, with high stakes for both U.S. and Iranian officials. As the negotiations resume, the world watches closely to see if any progress can be made in a historically fraught dialogue.
