Tehran must drastically cut its missile and nuclear programs to reach a diplomatic agreement with the US, Steve Witkoff has said.
The US prefers a diplomatic solution to ongoing tensions with Iran rather than military action, President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff has said, urging Tehran to scale down its missile and nuclear programs.
A wave of protests kicked off in Iran in late December. Initially prompted by soaring inflation and a rapid devaluation of the national currency, they swiftly grew political and violent, with hundreds left dead across the country. Tehran has blamed “terrorists” infiltrating the initially peaceful demonstrations, as well as meddling by the US and Israel.
In recent days, Trump has repeatedly threatened Tehran with military action and told protesters that “help is on its way.” Washington, however, still prefers a diplomatic solution, Witkoff told the Israeli-American Council conference in Florida on Thursday.
“I hope there’s a diplomatic resolution. I really do,” he said.
The special envoy outlined Washington’s demands on Tehran; namely that it scale down its nuclear and missile programs. Iran must “cut back on their inventory” of both fission material and missiles, as well as decease its support to foreign “proxies,” Witkoff said without elaborating.
“If they want to come back to the league of nations, we can solve those four problems diplomatically, and then that would be a great resolution. The alternative is a bad one,” he asserted.
Iran has insisted its nuclear program serves only civilian purposes, while Israel has repeatedly claimed that Tehran is about to create an atomic bomb. Earlier this week, Iran’s top diplomat, Abbas Araghchi, said the country was ready to make formal guarantees about the nature of its research.
“We can guarantee the peaceful nature of our nuclear program, that it will always be peaceful. In return, we expect the sanctions to be lifted,” the foreign minister said in an interview with Fox News. At the same time, Araghchi signaled that Tehran’s missile program was not negotiable, being considered necessary for defense and deterrence.
What happened to Donny’s “locked and loaded”, or was that something else in his pants?
Putin threatened to give the US another spanking, might even by worse than Ukraine! Russian military aircraft, those big things that carry loads of military goodies, have landed in Iran.
Weapons for me but not Yee.

We demand you give up the things stopping us from taking your country easily.
Clown
Psst… they’re still gonna take it anyway 😉🤭
How are all your mates in Iran doing? After all their shooting on protestors and police alike, beheadings, burning mosques, petrol stations, fire stations and fire trucks.
Whats that, they pretty much all dead?
What a shame
That’s what you get prostituting yourself to mossad in Iran.
Be right back, I’m just going to go find a magic marker and a pane of glass so I can try to work out what the hell you’re babbling about. AFK
Lolzzz
In other words a moron convention.
Welcome Morons!
Free cocktails between 4.30 and 6.30pm.
We all know how this works.
Steve Witkoff (68) is very obviously a daft silly senile old fool.
On the plus side: Average US life expectancy currently states that he’ll be dead in 10.4 years.
Witkoff is obviously entirely corrupt.
The lying dumb yanks do not want any diplomatic solution with Iran
If these dumb yanks had half-a-brain then these dumb yanks would be fully aware that
a) nobody trusts these dumb yanks because
b) these dumb yanks have established a history of betraying the trust of others and will therefore betray others again and again and again
Therefore these alleged overtures and invitations to diplomacy are made with typical dumb yank dishonesty and duplicity because these dumb yanks are clearly preparing to start another war with Iran
The corrupt US-based military industrial complex must destroy Iran because Iran can do war better and cheaper than the dumb yanks can
And because Iran proved this week they can win wars without firing a single shot
Israel was well aware of Iranian strengths and hence deliberately assassinated several Iranian scientists 7 months ago. Then idiot Trump gloated about these assassinations of innocent people. And these dumb yanks clearly need to assassinate more intelligent Iranians because there are far too many of them.
That’s why these lying dumb yanks desperately need such “diplomacy” with Iran now while the dumb yanks conceal their true murderous intentions.

Please get rid of your missile arsenal, so we can worry less about blow back the next time our insurgents riot. Who are you kidding Uncle Sam.
Yes, put down you gun, the muggers just want to talk.
“Demands”: unbelievable the arrogance of the US vulture !! soon to be ” has been”
Its already a has been, the best it can manage is a criminal action against Venezuela. No one has an respect left for it, save the delusional MAGA mob of misfits.
After all the bluster, Donny goes weak on saving Iran while picking on Greenland and Europe.
The red Chinese are loving it.
