The US government insists on an attitude of uranium enrichment by Iran. But the mullahs resist. Now Israel apparently wants to create facts.
According to the United States, Israel is preparing an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities. The US news broadcaster CNN reported on this on Tuesday (local time) and referred to several people from US government groups familiar with the matter. However, it was not clear whether the Israeli leadership of the plans had already made a final decision. The Reuters news agency could not confirm the information independently.
The United States and Iran are currently in discussions about the regulation of the Iranian nuclear program. The US government insists on a complete cessation of uranium enrichment in the Islamic Republic. The enrichment is considered a possible way to develop atomic bombs. However, Iran explains not to strive for nuclear weapons and claims that his nuclear program only serves civil purposes such as energy generation.
When visiting the Golf region, US President Donald Trump explained last week that a new nuclear agreement was within reach, but Iran had to act quickly. On Tuesday, the political and spiritual head of the Islamic Republic, Ajatollah Ali Chamenei, rejected the United States’ demands after a stop of uranium enrichment as “exaggerated and outrageous” and warned that the conversations would probably not bring any results.
