While the negotiations between the Trump administration and Iran are opaque, there are enough leaks and on-the-record comments to see where it’s all likely heading: to an interim agreement that badly undermines U.S. interests.
Most press coverage has centered on the enrichment issue: the Marco Rubio and Steve Witkoff comments saying Iran cannot enrich at all vs. Iran’s government saying it will never give up its “right” to enrich. “They have to walk away from enrichment,” Rubio said on The Sean Hannity Show. He added that “the only countries in the world that enrich uranium are the ones that have nuclear weapons. . . . If you have the ability to enrich at 3.67 percent, it only takes a few weeks to get to 20 percent, then 60 percent and then the 80 and 90 percent that you need for a weapon.”
