Washington. Talks continue between America and Iran on the nuclear issue. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Geneva for the second round of talks, but behind the scenes the situation seems heated. According to the information, in the meeting held in Mar-a-Lago, Florida in December, US President Donald Trump had clearly told Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu that if there is no agreement between America and Iran, he will support the Israeli attack on Iran’s ballistic missile program.
Quoting sources in the media report, it has been said that now there is a discussion within the American army and intelligence agencies about how America can help Israel if it attacks Iran. The discussion is more on whether America will attack directly or not, but on how it can help Israel. In internal discussions, it is being considered that the US Air Force can help Israeli fighter planes in refueling in the air. Apart from this, there is also a big question as to which countries will allow Israeli aircraft to pass through their air routes. Countries like Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have publicly stated that they will not allow their airspace to be used for any attack on Iran. In such a situation, it is not clear how the path for possible action will be decided.
According to the report, meanwhile, America has increased its military strength in West Asia. It is reported that the second American aircraft carrier USS Gerald R Ford is also being sent to the area. This, combined with US military power, will ensure the presence of heavy weapons close to Iran. Trump has called this a precautionary step. He says America wants to be prepared if talks fail. Israeli PM Netanyahu has openly expressed doubts about the agreement with Iran. He says that any agreement should stop not only the nuclear program, but also Iran’s missile program and funding of its supported organizations in the region.
On the other hand, Iran has also indicated that it may consider reducing uranium enrichment to some extent, but in return economic sanctions imposed on it will have to be lifted.1 No written agreement has been reached yet. The second round of talks between the US and Iran will be held in Geneva on Tuesday under the mediation of Oman. US Representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will participate. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that President Trump wants talks first, but all options are open.
