WSJ: Trump Has Two Major "red Lines" In Talks With Iran

But Tehran is unlikely to make concessions.

US President Donald Trump has no less than two major "red lines" in the negotiation process with Iran to end the war.

The The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) quoted officials as saying.

The first fundamental condition is Iran's refusal to enrich uranium for at least 20 years, although Trump intends to push for a longer period. Washington's second "red line" is the removal of already enriched uranium from Iranian territory.

Tehran has so far not agreed to these demands and has a long history of resisting US economic pressure, the WSJ notes.

The talks in Pakistan ended without a breakthrough and, according to officials and analysts, both Washington and Tehran made demands unacceptable to the other side.

A number of U.S. officials with extensive experience in the Middle East believe the Iranian regime is unlikely to give up its nuclear ambitions, even if it leads to the country's economic collapse. They also pointed out that after the US and Israeli strikes that eliminated many Iranian leaders, the resulting vacuum is being filled by regime supporters who are seen as even more radical and less willing to compromise.

Senior officials in Donald Trump's administration, however, disagree. They emphasize that the Iranian economy has already been weakened by years of sanctions and systemic corruption. They also said China and Pakistan are pushing Tehran for an agreement that would end the war and ease pressure on global energy markets, the WSJ writes.
