An American official said Saturday that the US will not reach an agreement with Iran unless Tehran makes significant concessions, and warned that the US has 'many options' if Iran refuses to hand over its nuclear materials. The statement adds to the pressure on the nuclear talks.
The statement from an American official follows a warning from a White House source early Saturday that Iran would face a 'very difficult day' if it refuses to publish a statement. The US continues to demand significant concessions from Iran in the nuclear talks. The official's threat of 'many options' suggests the US may be considering military or other coercive measures if Iran does not comply with demands to hand over nuclear materials. The talks have been at an impasse, with both sides holding firm on key conditions. The Zioneer has reported extensively on the negotiations, including assessments that Jerusalem fears Trump may agree to concessions, and that the US is applying heavy pressure on Iran.
