Key Reasons Behind the Failure of Iran-US Negotiations Revealed

During the recent negotiations held in Islamabad, the United States officially proposed that Iran establish a 20-year moratorium on the uranium enrichment process. This information was reported by Axios, citing an American official and sources familiar with the discussions.

According to the report, the Iranian side did not fundamentally reject the idea of restrictions, but proposed significantly shorter timeframes. Sources indicate that the period mentioned by Tehran is 'definitely shorter' than the 20 years suggested by the US, highlighting the serious disagreements between the parties.

The primary obstacles in the nuclear program negotiations remain the level of uranium enrichment and the issue of existing stockpiles. Washington aims to obtain long-term guarantees that Iran will not develop military nuclear capabilities, while Iran, in turn, demands the lifting of sanctions and more flexible terms.

At this moment, the parties continue discussions around a possible agreement, but no official announcements regarding a final decision have yet been made. The proposed offer is viewed as an attempt to stabilize the situation in the region and prevent an arms race in nuclear weapons.
