Donald Trump: Iran Proposed Negotiations
Donald Trump announced today at the White House about Iran’s proposal for negotiations.
Six days after the onset of Israeli attacks against Iran, Donald Trump stated today, Wednesday, June 18, corresponding to Khordad 28, that Iran has proposed negotiations with the United States and expressed readiness to come to the White House for such talks.
Trump stated in this regard: “Iran thought about it too late and had 60 days of opportunity, but anyway, it may not be too late yet. I have lost patience with negotiations with Iran and its delays. We demand unconditional surrender.”
Donald Trump also, following the news of Iran’s negotiation proposal, told reporters in the White House courtyard:
“I don’t know whether to join Israel’s military operations against Iran or not.” However, he did not answer the question of whether the United States will participate in attacking nuclear sites, and only added: “No one knows what I want to do. The week ahead is a big week, but maybe even before that.”
Although Donald Trump has not yet announced who will be sent from the Islamic Republic for negotiations to the White House, BBC Persian News Network reported, citing a source from the Islamic Republic’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs who was in contact with this British news network, stating: “Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is ready to meet with JD Vance, the Vice President of the United States. This claim has neither been confirmed nor denied by Iran’s or America’s Foreign Ministry.”
Israeli media also emphasized that the Israeli military needs American entry and assistance to achieve the goal of eliminating the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear program. Israeli media stated that only the United States possesses “mother of all bombs” and B52 aircraft to carry these heavy weapons that can penetrate the Fordow nuclear facility in Qom at depths of tens of meters.
JD Vance, Donald Trump’s Vice President, also posted a message on social media stating: “Iran has enriched uranium far beyond the level needed for any non-military application, and the U.S. President may decide to take further action to end Iran’s uranium enrichment.”
It is worth noting that an Airbus aircraft of Mahan Air Company entered Oman from Iran to Muscat, the capital of Oman. The arrival of this Iranian aircraft in Oman has occurred while, since the start of Israeli attacks against Iran, flights in Iran have been canceled or suspended.
The origin of this aircraft is not precisely clear, but investigations indicate that its GPS signal was activated above the Barez Mountains in Kerman Province, but it has not yet been announced who are aboard this aircraft. It is suspected that the aircraft in question may be carrying Iranian diplomats, or it is also possible that it was sent to return Iranian pilgrims to Oman.
