The intense tension that has been going on between Iran and America for some time now seems to be reaching a major and historic turning point. For the past several days, strong efforts were being made at the diplomatic level to restore peace and avert war between the two countries. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has made a very shocking and big announcement. Trump claims that Iran has finally agreed to completely give up its most controversial stockpile of enriched uranium.
Zee News According to , although all the stringent aspects of this agreement and the complete details of the final deal between the two countries have not yet been officially made public, Washington’s biggest demand was that Tehran completely surrender its highly enriched uranium stock. On the other hand, Iran wants to maintain its complete monopoly and control over the commercially and strategically important Strait of Hormuz.
America’s tough stance on uranium reserves
According to American officials, the most important and sensitive part of this proposed agreement is that Tehran has clearly committed to giving up its dangerous uranium reserves. However, it has not been completely decided yet where Iran will send this huge stockpile or how it will be disposed of.
Experts say that these technical aspects and procedures will be discussed in detail in the nuclear talks to be held in the coming days. But in view of the current global crisis, it was very important for America that Iran agreed to this main condition.
The matter was reached after strong military and diplomatic pressure
President Donald Trump also shared on social media that the United States is very close to ending this bitter war and reopening the world’s most important oil route, the Strait of Hormuz, to international shipping. However, no direct or public statement has yet come from Iran regarding this agreement.
In the initial phase of negotiations, Iran was hesitant in making any kind of deal on its valuable and highly enriched uranium stock. Tehran’s diplomatic demand was that the uranium issue be postponed to the second stage of talks. But US negotiators, through intermediaries, had given a very clear and strong message to Iran that if the uranium reserves were not agreed upon at the initial stage, then America would withdraw from the talks and would again start its military campaign in the region with full force.
Bunker busting bombs were included in ‘Plan B’
The US Army’s tough strategy and heavy military pressure are also believed to have a major role in this diplomatic agreement. According to a recent report by the New York Times, the US Defense Ministry had prepared several tough military options to destroy Iran’s nuclear bases.
US Army’s secret plan: This military strategy also included a plan to attack Iran’s main Isfahan Nuclear Center with bunker-buster bombs, because American intelligence agencies believe that Iran has hidden most of its highly enriched uranium under this center.
Additionally, the report also claims that when Iran acquired excess uranium following last summer’s attacks, President Trump seriously considered authorizing a top-secret ‘US-Israeli Commando Raid’ to forcibly recapture the stock. However, later Trump did not give the green signal to this tough mission, because the military commanders believed that in this very dangerous and sensitive mission, the American and Israeli forces could have to suffer heavy loss of life and property. The result of this strong military pressure is that today both the countries have come close to reaching an agreement on the negotiating table.
