Returning to Iran’s nuclear file, I have previously said that there is no security with the American administration. Those who are pushing this file in a very alarming way are the Zionists, who are preparing themselves for a new round of war against Iran.
The problem of Muslims in this era is that they sometimes gather to keep the specter of war away from their seats of power, yet at the same time they do nothing of real consequence to put a definitive end to the destructive role embodied by the Zionist occupation. They put all their eggs in Washington’s basket, as if Washington were a capital on Mars. And we know the background of the American administration: the security of the Zionists is the top priority—indeed, it even surpasses America’s highest interests.
The current situation is uncomfortable for all parties, especially the Muslim side. We are facing serious challenges on several fronts—particularly the Zionist front. The insistence on stripping Iran of its missile industry is an indication of calculated rigidity on the American side, and the room for maneuver on both sides is narrow. This should not be understood to mean that Iran will accept everything.
Its demand to reduce the enrichment level in exchange for the complete lifting of sanctions is a legitimate and reasonable demand, since one of the acute crises Iran is suffering from internally is the burden of extremely harsh sanctions on the economy. This is a factor the American–Zionist side plays on heavily.
Between toppling the regime—which is essentially a Zionist demand—and the space for negotiation between the two sides, there are many dangerous obstacles and sharp turns. And what the negotiations will lead to, if they continue and are not preceded by a new act of aggression, will determine the contours of the Middle East for the next fifty years.
