For several days, the international community has been trying to understand what negotiations are taking place between the United States and Iran, in what format, or whether or not negotiations are taking place at all.

It has been three days since US President Donald Trump announced that they are negotiating with Iran to end the war, while official Tehran denies the information spread by Washington at the level of all possible officials.

However, the remarkable thing is that the US President Trump, before the negotiations have even started, gives details, notes that the Secretary of State and the Vice President are involved in the negotiations, who are negotiating with the “right people” in Iran. Trump assures that Iran has refused to acquire nuclear weapons, which Iran has always stated, and also Trump declares that Tehran has made a big concession to the United States regarding the energy sector. According to him, we are talking about a valuable gift. Trump also hopes that further negotiations will be effective.

Iran’s relevant departments deny the information about the negotiations, insisting that Iran’s message is clear, they continue to defend themselves. The spokesman of the Iranian army, Ebrahim Zolfaghari, also stated that the US is negotiating with itself, and called not to call its defeat an “agreement”.

“You will no longer see your investments in the region, nor the previous prices of energy carriers and oil, until you understand that stability in the region is guaranteed by our powerful military,” said the spokesman of the Iranian army.

Western media also reported that White House officials told American media that the US had conveyed a 15-point proposal to Iran through Pakistan. Iran is reportedly being offered to dismantle three major nuclear facilities, halt uranium enrichment, limit support to its proxies, fully open the Strait of Hormuz and limit its missile program in exchange for the lifting of nuclear-related sanctions, and the US will support Iran’s civilian nuclear program. Western media also say that Turkey, Egypt and Pakistan are trying to organize a meeting between the US and Iran within 48 hours. between in Islamabad. Pakistan has confirmed that it is ready to host the talks.

Iran’s ambassador to Pakistan, however, said that direct or indirect negotiations with the US are not underway yet, but “friendly countries” are holding consultations with the parties.

Said Jalili, the new secretary of Iran’s National Security Council, announced that after 25 days, Iran’s enemies admit that they have reached a point where Iran’s power has become obvious. “Whenever the enemy senses weakness and you get to their rear, they resort to deception and trickery to continue their operations. Previously, the enemy said: “I will not allow Iran to sell one barrel of oil.”

Now that we have fought back, even without our request, they say: “Go buy oil from Iran.” Isn’t this a manifestation of Iran’s power? We must consolidate and develop this force. The progress of our country must be consolidated and guaranteed, and this requires that anyone who tries to threaten our people repent of their threat,” Jalili stated.

While announcements and processes of negotiations do not stop, the war continues, according to Reuters, the Pentagon plans to send ground troops to the Middle East to begin a ground operation.

168.amin a conversation with Russian analyst Vladimir Yevseyev said that such asymmetric situations in international relations are quite common and often reflect a multi-layered strategy.

In his assessment, Trump’s rhetoric can be considered as a tool of diplomatic pressure.

“Talking about negotiations, Washington is trying to create a perception that Iran is forced to sit at the table, even if it does not admit it publicly. This is a psychological and political pressure on Tehran, and also creates a certain background around the war, that Iran is asking for a cease-fire, is ready for concessions, etc. Tehran’s denial also aims to neutralize the goal that the American regime pursues with these statements.

The American regime also pursues domestic political goals with this, as the war raises new grievances against President Trump in the United States every day. He is trying to maintain his political image.

It also tries to do this among its allies and partners, showing that the US is in the role of controlling the situation. However, many people understand that everything is not as it is announced,” Yevseyev said.

However, he also does not exclude, moreover, he is sure that there are attempts to approach the parties, which are done by mediators, of which there are several.

“Judging by the information, there is an intermediary, behind-the-scenes work by a third country. Another thing that is also clear is that, despite this work, Iran currently has an incomparably tougher stance than at any previous stage, and this complicates the situation for both the mediators and the US.

On the other hand, I think the US is also considering the land scenario, although it seems risky and complicated. However, Trump’s statements about the negotiations should be understood more as a strategic tool, which is an attempt to currently solve a number of problems that have arisen for the United States as a result of this war,” Yevseev said.

According to his observation, the US does not want to lose either in war operations or in the information field, suffering great image losses. “It is extremely important for a country like the United States,” he said.
