Trump Eyes Final Bid to Resolve Iran Conflict
In a bold attempt to end the escalating tensions and ongoing conflict, US President Donald Trump is set to present what sources describe as a ‘last chance’ deal to Iran. This initiative includes arranging a high-stakes meeting between Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff, and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi scheduled for this week.
Diplomatic Moves Amid Rising Conflict
Recent weeks have witnessed intense military action, including the destruction of key Iranian air defenses and multiple strikes on missile launchers and production facilities. These attacks, primarily by Israel, have been justified on the grounds of preventing Iran from advancing its nuclear weapons development.
As the conflict heats up, the upcoming negotiations could present a pivotal moment. The proposed dialogue aims to negotiate a ceasefire and carefully address Iran’s nuclear program.
Details of Trump’s ‘Last Chance’ Proposal
According to insiders, Trump’s offer might come with more favorable terms than previous proposals, aiming to close the gap between Washington and Tehran’s positions. Although specifics remain confidential, the negotiations may allow Iran to continue low-level uranium enrichment strictly for civilian purposes until a regional nuclear consortium is established.
Nonetheless, the ultimate goal remains unchanged: to reduce Iran’s uranium enrichment to zero.
Potential Impact of the Witkoff-Araghchi Meeting
This proposed meeting is seen as a critical juncture that could determine whether the United States escalates into a direct military engagement or moves forward with a diplomatic resolution.
Officials have described decisions surrounding the use of ‘bunker buster’ bombs—designed to target deep underground Iranian facilities—as a possible turning point, highlighting the administration’s balancing act between military action and negotiation leverage.
Internal Divisions Within the US Administration
Behind the scenes, there seems to be disagreement within Trump’s circle regarding the approach to Iran. While some military leaders advocate for direct attacks, others caution against deeper US military involvement.
Trump himself appears to approach the situation strategically, viewing the ongoing war as leverage to negotiate favorable terms rather than a conflict to be escalated militarily.
Looking Ahead
Whether Iran will be compelled to come to the table seriously remains uncertain. The administration’s challenge lies in persuading Tehran that the existential risks outweigh prolonging the conflict. The coming days and diplomatic exchanges will be closely watched as they could reshape the trajectory of Middle East stability and nuclear diplomacy.
