The spokesperson of the National Security Commission says something that, from an Iranian perspective, sounds obvious: these negotiations exist because US threats did not work.

Aragchi to Al Jazeera: -The talks with Washington had a good start, but there is still a long road ahead to build trust between us. -Zero-percent enrichment is outside the framework of the negotiations for us.

Sources in Oman say the talks there are exclusively focused on the nuclear issue.

Here we go again with talks in Oman. From an Iranian perspective, expectations this time are notably low.

Iran, in Western epistemic terms, is a ghost: a presence defined by an absence: modernity. It is treated as something belonging to the past, yet it continues to haunt the present as a disturbing specter.

Almost everyone agrees that Iran is approaching these negotiations with low expectations. Within this narrative, talks have resumed not because pressure produced results, but because it failed, and because the alternatives to negotiations are potentially catastrophic.

In Iran, some argue that in order to gain leverage in future negotiations, the country would need to demonstrate military strength before coming to the table. That would imply a short, non-symbolic military exchange with the United States to showcase Iran’s capabilities.

From Iran’s perspective, the present moment is shaped by a single continuum connecting three developments: the recent 12-day campaign, ongoing domestic protests, and the standoff with the United States.

Al Jazeera: Diplomacy is likely to outweigh military rhetoric on Iran. After diplomatic moves, the US appears to have dropped its insistence on linking nuclear, missile, and regional files—talks would start with the nuclear issue.

Iranian sources report that the United States has recently sent negotiation messages to Tehran. As no change has been observed in Washington’s fundamental demands, these messages are being interpreted either as a ruse or as an attempt to impose a new artificial deadline.

What the United States seeks is not merely the dismantling of Iran’s nuclear capabilities. The main objective, though without a clear strategy to achieve it, is to force Iran to relinquish all its deterrence capabilities.

Qalibaf, Speaker of Parliament: “They constantly speak of dialogue and negotiations—but which dialogue? We, too, support genuine dialogue, but the President of the United States is not seeking dialogue or negotiations; he is seeking to impose.”

Trump spoke about a “deal” ( presumably a nuclear deal) while repeatedly insisting that Iran’s nuclear program was “obliterated.” The question, then, is straightforward: if it was obliterated, what exactly is the deal meant to address?

It seems, if we are to believe the analyses I’ve just read, that Trump is still interested in reaching a deal with Iran.

The imperial ego produces both rage and coercion when the subaltern refuses the "unrejectable" gift of freedom, exposing the violence inherent in a discourse that presumes agency can be granted rather than claimed.

it looks like Pezeshkian called MBS, and there are rumors about the purpose of this call—either he contacted MBS to use Saudi Arabia as a diplomatic channel, or he called to warn that Saudi Arabia could become a target if the U.S. attacks.

If this is the scenario that exposes the challenges the US is facing, the problem is clear: it wants to strike and move on, but also wants a "meaningful, marketable target". You can’t have it all. And this so-called “contained option” could easily ignite a regional fire.

Just for the record: when people talk about negotiations, they need to understand that negotiations per se, without a proper distribution of power within the negotiating field, are meaningless.

According to Axios the Trump administration has clarified its list of demands to the Iranian government. The same demands were already on the table before the 12-day war. From the perspective of the Islamic Republic, these demands amount to nothing less than complete capitulation.

The Islamic Republic did not need to “smear” her; her own testimony was sufficient. She played the role of the native informant, “disclosing” and “confirming” Western a priori anxieties and their prescribed solutions.

Some experts point to two factors: a diplomatic breakthrough remains possible, but not before some level of confrontation. The core issue is unchanged: the United States seeks major concessions, while Iran is unwilling to retreat even a centimeter from its ideological principles.

This is a possible scenario according to regional sources: the US issues an ultimatum to Iran, which Tehran rejects on the grounds that it would entail compromises endangering its sovereignty.

This contains two narratives. The first is the obvious one: Trump does not care about politics as such; he simply wants an “easy,” marketable achievement, something along the lines of “I ended the rivalry with Iran.”
