Journalist says imminent Iran nuclear deal unlikely
Ali Al-Bardi told Al Arabiya FM that a swift resolution to Iran’s nuclear file is improbable, citing Tehran’s stance on enriched materials and global status.
Iranian journalist Ali Al-Bardi told Al Arabiya FM that an imminent resolution to the country's nuclear file seems unlikely. In an interview, Al-Bardi highlighted Iran's insistence on retaining its enriched materials and its desire to be viewed as a major power, a stance that Washington finds challenging. The Iranian side has become increasingly inflexible regarding enriched materials, making it difficult to reach a solution due to mutual distrust.
Iran repeatedly receives the message from the American side that it must sit at the negotiating table, as the U.S. is employing high-level military force. Al-Bardi pointed out that a previous American-Iranian conflict lasted five weeks and failed to destroy all of Iran's nuclear facilities.
