Negotiations between Iran and the U.S. on Saturday took place in a ‘serious atmosphere’ according to reports. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said he was “satisfied” with the progress and “hopeful but cautious” that the two sides would come to a technical arrangement.
The United States has indicated that it would be satisfied with an Iranian nuclear power program but not a nuclear bomb program. It is also negotiating removal of sanctions put in place since the Obama administration. It would seem that the devil is now in the details.
Israel remains undeterred in its plans to bomb Iran—no matter what comes of these talks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to demand that Iran’s entire nuclear infrastructure be dismantled but he is not a party to the negotiations.
The next round of negotiations will be next Saturday, May 3.
