[94045] Crisis in Iran-US talks: Tehran demands apology from Trump and Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon

Diplomatic crisis: The Iranian delegation abandons negotiations

Contacts between Iran and the United States fell into a sharp crisis this past weekend. According to reports in خبرفوری جنگ🚨اخبارفوری امریکا فوری and other media outlets close to the regime, the Iranian delegation left the negotiation site in protest of remarks by US President Donald Trump, who threatened that "if Iran blocks the Strait of Hormuz, the Iranian negotiators will not be able to return to their country," as reported in آخرین خبر.

The المیادین network (affiliated with the Axis of Resistance) reported that the return of the Iranian team to the negotiating table is now conditional on two requirements: an apology from Trump and the withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon. These sources emphasized that the delegation "not only demands the cessation of aggression but demands the withdrawal of forces" from southern Lebanon.

At the same time, an internal struggle is evident within the power centers in Tehran. While Iran International (which broadcasts from outside Iran and is critical of the regime) reported unprecedented support from the Supreme National Security Council for the negotiation process, sources identified with the extreme conservative camp, such as کافه سیاست, claimed that the Iranian leader expressed religious reservations regarding the nuclear issue in the talks. Analyst Jalal Ijadi assessed in Iran International that an internal power balance shift is occurring, favoring supporters of diplomacy over the "Paydari front" and extremists.

Despite the reported blow-up, details have emerged regarding certain technical progress. A member of the Iranian delegation, Ghorbanzadeh, was quoted in تبریز خبرلری as saying that "the draft for a temporary exemption from sanctions on oil and its derivatives has been finalized," but its implementation remains dependent on settling the situation in Lebanon. Experts cited in خبرفوری ࡆ اخبارفوری مذاکره ࡆ جنگ فوری estimate that the negotiations have not completely halted but have moved to an indirect format via mediators from Qatar and Pakistan.
