Iranian officials have expressed concerns that ongoing nuclear talks with the U.S. are in jeopardy due to rigid demands surrounding uranium enrichment. Supreme Leader Khamenei has publicly doubted the potential success of these negotiations, criticizing U.S. demands as nonsensical and asserting that Iran will not cease uranium enrichment as a condition for a new deal. While the U.S. maintains a hard stance on the necessity of zero enrichment, Iranian leaders warn that such a position will lead to the collapse of discussions. Despite the bleak outlook, there are signs of continued dialogue, with Iran proposing innovative pathways for future negotiations. However, the lack of written proposals and clarity from the U.S. raises questions about the viability of any agreement moving forward.
