After November 3, U.S. President Trump had announced a major attack on Iran. The reason he had singled out that date was the midterm election held in the United States on November 3.
The outcome of that election did not favor Trump’s party, the Republican Party. The most important reason the Democratic Party won a majority in the U.S. Congress was that the American people did not want a war with Iran.
As a result, after the election results, Trump did not take any major action in the Iran war. Even earlier, his stance on the Iran war had been either negotiations or a major attack.
Iran’s changed stance
Now Iran has taken up this stance. Since the war began, Iran had not spoken much about negotiations. But now, Iran’s top leaders are continuously talking about negotiations.
However, as a condition for negotiations, they are putting forward seven conditions.
The war with Iran has indeed caused financial costs and a reduction in weapons stockpiles for the United States. Likewise, Iran, which has already endured many restrictions, cannot continue this war indefinitely.
They may have weapons... they may have food and security arrangements for two years. But when the option of a ceasefire exists, choosing war is not a wise decision.
As a result, Iran is now continuing to talk about a ceasefire and negotiations. It seems Iran wants to take advantage of this moment, when Trump is facing a crisis in his own country.
However, they do not intend to reach a ceasefire that easily either. They want to use this moment to secure the things they need. That is why Iran is putting forward seven conditions.
What is Iran’s current position in the Iran war? Posts from Iran’s key leaders...
Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Ghalibaf: "The Israelis are aggressively trying to drag the United States into an endless war with Iran.
It is a pit from which no one can escape, whether the current president or a future president, whether he belongs to the Republican Party or the Democratic Party.
If Washington does not abandon its 'Israel first' mindset, the United States and its allies will head straight into a dark era."
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian: "They started the war saying they were preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons. Then, for the first time, they used the PrSM missile in the city of Lamert.
Now, they are talking about the 'mother of all bombs' to advance diplomacy through threats. This is not a contradiction, but rather an insult. Who is truly a threat to world peace and security?" he asked.
