Amid ongoing discussions over a possible US-Iran agreement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that he spoke with US President Donald Trump, who reiterated America’s commitment to ending Iran’s uranium enrichment activities and curbing its ballistic missile program. According to the statement, these two issues remain at the center of efforts to reach a broader peace agreement involving regional stakeholders. However, uncertainty persists over whether Iran is willing to accept such conditions. Commentators noted that Tehran has yet to issue any official confirmation on suspending its nuclear or missile programs, making the final outcome of negotiations unclear. During the debate, Iran expert Professor Zamir Abbas Jafri dismissed suggestions that Tehran was backing down under pressure. He argued that repeated claims by Donald Trump about an imminent deal have surfaced numerous times without materializing and asserted that the decisive factor would be Iran’s official position rather than statements from Washington or Tel Aviv. Jafri also challenged claims that Iran had been forced to negotiate due to military pressure, contending instead that Tehran had previously sent multiple proposals to the United States and that discussions have evolved through an ongoing diplomatic process rather than unilateral concessions.
