US-Iran Nuclear Talks Stall Again Amid Skepticism from Iranian Diplomat Abbas Araghchi
Published on 6.3.25
The uncertainty surrounding a potential nuclear deal between the United States and Iran persists, with Iranian officials expressing skepticism about the US proposal. Iranian diplomat Abbas Araghchi received elements of the US offer during five rounds of talks mediated by Oman.
Despite significant concessions from the Trump administration, including allowing Iran to maintain its uranium enrichment program, many issues remain unresolved. The US insistence that Iran cease its enrichment program has been a major point of contention. Iranian officials have warned that they will retaliate if European powers reimpose sanctions.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has expressed skepticism about a deal with the US, contradicting President Donald Trump's optimism. Iran is seeking to maintain its uranium enrichment program for peaceful purposes and has denied accusations of seeking nuclear weapons. The uncertainty surrounding the deal has also been fueled by comments from former US Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro, who stated that he is "skeptical" about Iran's intentions.
The stalemate in negotiations highlights the complexities and challenges involved in reaching a new agreement between the two countries.
