Mohammad Eslami, Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), asserted that Iran has never pursued a nuclear weapons program and will not do so in the future. His statement follows renewed tensions due to U.S. President Donald Trump’s comments aimed at reinstating pressure on Iran to prevent atomic bomb development. Eslami clarified Iran’s stance during a cabinet meeting, emphasizing, “Iran never had, does not have now, and never will have a program [to produce] nuclear weapons.” The situation underscores the complexities of nuclear diplomacy and the differing views of the U.S. and Iran on nuclear proliferation.
Negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program are intensifying, with Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei asserting that halting the program is not an option. He emphasized that Iran’s primary goals are to maintain its nuclear advancements and to lift sanctions affecting its population. Recently, Iranian negotiators, led by Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, engaged in discussions with a U.S. delegation in Muscat, facilitated by Oman. These talks are seen as productive and aim to address Iran’s nuclear ambitions, potential sanctions relief, and possibly replace the 2015 deal abandoned by the U.S. during the Trump administration.
For over 20 years, Europe has been embroiled in a crisis regarding Iran’s nuclear program, shifting from a moderating role to one aligned with U.S. interests, as noted by Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi. Recently, the E3 (UK, France, Germany) initiated the “snap back” of UN sanctions on Iran, despite lacking legal grounds due to their own failures in the 2015 nuclear deal. The E3’s actions risk sidelining them in future diplomatic efforts and may lead to significant regional repercussions. Iran remains open to diplomacy, advocating for a realistic agreement that includes oversight in exchange for sanction relief.
Three Iranian newspapers—Kayhan, Javan, and Vatan-e Emrooz—have voiced strong opposition to negotiations with the U.S., reflecting skepticism within Iran’s theocracy about engaging with its long-term adversary. Linked to influential political bodies, they challenge directives from the Culture Ministry and other institutions. Kayhan criticizes negotiation advocates for ignoring U.S. sanctions’ impact, while Vatan-e Emrooz warns against agreements that could exploit Iran. Javan adopts a pragmatic stance, questioning whether limited agreements could harm Iran’s anti-imperialist image. Despite Supreme Leader Khamenei’s ambiguous support for negotiations, these newspapers represent internal divisions on U.S.-Iran relations, highlighting the complexities of Iranian politics.
