The United States announced on Wednesday, June 11 that they had moved part of their staff in the Middle East after Tehran threatened to attack their military bases in case of conflict after the failure of the negotiations between the two countries in the Iranian nuclear.
“American staff in the Middle East is in the process of being transferred because it could be a dangerous place and we will see what will happen. They cannot have a nuclear weapon, it is very simple, we will not allow it,” said Donald Trump on Wednesday of Washington Kennedy Center.
If “we are imposed by a conflict, the other camp will undoubtedly suffer more losses than us,” said Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh. “Its bases are within our reach” and “the United States will have to leave the region,” he added.
Many American bases in Iran
The United States has many military bases in the vicinity of Iran, the most important in Qatar.
Previously, US officials had indicated that the United States reduced the staff of their embassy in Iraq for security reasons.
The UKMTO Maritime Security Agency, administered by the British Navy, has published a note of information warning about “the emergence of tensions” in the Middle East, which probably causes “an escalation of military activities with a direct impact on sailors.”
“Less safe” Trump in a possible agreement
Iran and the United States, with knives drawn from the advent of the Islamic Republic in 1979, have been held from the five cycles of nuclear merchants in April under the Sultanate of Oman.
New discussions are scheduled for Sunday, according to Iran. Donald Trump announced that this meeting will take place on Thursday, while the Omaní mediator did not comment.
“I have much less confidence (before) to reach an agreement,” said the US president in a Post New York podcast, recorded on Monday and broadcast on Wednesday.
“They seem to be procrastinants,” said the American leader, who has threatened several times to attack Iran militarily in case of failure of diplomacy. “It would be better to do it without war,” said Donald Trump.
A discussion text
The two countries are trying to agree on a potential text that would prevent them from acquiring the atomic weapon, an ambition that Tehran is fiercely defended from food, in exchange for a lifting of sanctions that paralyze their economy.
Discussions are annoying in particular about the question of uranium enrichment. The United States requires that Iran completely renounces it, that Tehran refuses, claiming to have the right under the Nuclear Non -Proliferation Treaty (TNP) of which it is signatory.
According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (AIEA), Iran is the only state not endowed with nuclear weapons to enrich uranium at a high level (60%), far beyond the 3.67% limit established by the multilateral nuclear agreement concluded with Iran in 2015, but of which the United States withdrew in 2018 during Donald’s first mandate. To make an atomic bomb, enrichment must be pushed up to 90%, according to the OIEA.
The American offer does not convince Iran
Iran received from the United States an agreement to agree that he has not convinced Tehran. The Supreme Guide, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the last creator of decisions in strategic archives, described this “100% opposite” offer to the interests of his country.
The American text, which has not been made public, does not mention the lifting of the sanctions, of which Tehran makes a priority, according to the president of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf.
Iran said Monday that he would present his own proposal in the United States in the next few days, when the AIAA celebrated this week in Vienna an important quarterly meeting that will significantly review the Iranian nuclear activities.
In case of adoption during a vote that was scheduled on Wednesday, June 11, in the Council of Governors of the AIAA, this resolution would give arguments to these countries to trigger a mechanism to restore UN sanctions against Iran, a planned clause in the 2015 Nuclear Agreement. Iran has threatened to reduce its cooperation with the OIEA if such a resolution was adopted.
