Trump Praises Iran’s ‘Reasonable and Intelligent’ Approach in U.S. Negotiations
Nuclear negotiations between the U.S. and Iran have shifted positively, with President Trump praising Iran’s approach during discussions. Ahead of his Middle East visit, Trump described Iranian negotiators as “talking very intelligently” and emphasized the need for constructive dialogue. He reiterated that Iran cannot acquire nuclear weapons but acknowledged their reasonable conduct in talks. This marks a change from Trump’s earlier stance, having previously withdrawn from a nuclear agreement and imposed sanctions. His upcoming trip will include visits to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, as diplomatic efforts continue to reshape U.S.-Iran relations.
30,000 Iranian Doctors Refuse to Work Amidst Low Pay Crisis, Officials Reveal
In Iran, a crisis is brewing in the healthcare system as approximately 30,000 general practitioners are leaving the profession due to low doctor’s fees, which are set at only 1.26 million rials (about $20). Mohammad Raiszadeh, head of the Medical Council, emphasizes that stagnating incomes and high inflation, exceeding 40%, have diminished doctors’ purchasing power. The government’s fee structure, announced annually, fails to align with inflation, leading to widespread dissatisfaction among healthcare professionals. This trend threatens the availability of medical services and underscores the urgent need for regulatory reforms to address financial concerns and retain healthcare providers in Iran.
Iran Faces Pivotal Negotiation Challenges Amid US Double Standards
As Donald Trump begins his second term, the global community is closely watching his approach to Iran following his previous “maximum pressure” campaign. Analysts, including Riccardo Alcaro from the International Affairs Institute, suggest that Trump may exert more control over Iran policy this time, potentially allowing for negotiations. While his administration still includes hardliners, Trump’s newfound openness could facilitate a significant agreement. Europe’s role may also be crucial, as nations like Germany, France, and the UK seek to maintain stability. The outcome of these dynamics will be pivotal for regional stability and US-Iran relations moving forward.
