Trump threatens Iran: negotiations or military escalation?

In a explosive turn in the conflict about the Iranian nuclear program, President Trump Tehran sent a letter in which he talks about negotiations. According to vienna.at , Trump explained that a negotiated solution for Iran was "much better". At the same time, however, he shows that military measures would result if Iran continues to strive for atomic armament. "It will be a terrible thing for her," threatened the US President, and confirmed that Iran should not have nuclear weapons.

The reaction of Tehrans was significantly skeptical: Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif rejected the existence of this letter on Friday by declaring that no letter was received. He said, "We heard about it, but we didn't get anything", as vienna.at . Khamenei, the Iranian top guide, explained that talks about the nuclear program would only lead to tightening the sanctions instead of lifting them up. He emphasized that Iran does not strive for weapons and this is not due to external influences, but on his own will.

urgency and geopolitical tensions

After the unilateral withdrawal of the United States from the nuclear agreement in 2018, Iran continued to increase its uranium deposits, which triggers concerns in Western nations, especially with Israel. Prime Minister Netanyahu meanwhile expresses itself unequivocally: a new peaceful deal with Iran is unimaginable for Israel, and military measures could be necessary to neutralize the Iranian nuclear systems. The question of a possible agreement is in the air, while urgency to find a solution is getting bigger.
