"Wall Street Journal": Negotiations in Oman, Iran rejects US demand to stop uranium enrichment!

Iran's talks with the US in Oman have been suspended "for the time being", according to information provided to Al Jazeera by the Iranian Foreign Ministry, however, Tehran's state television announced that they are likely to be extended for several days.
Along the same lines, Axios reported that a new round will take place in the near future.
According to the same sources, the negotiations are described as "serious" and "progressing at a faster pace than the previous five rounds", with an exchange of messages and proposals between the two sides through Oman's mediation.
Although the atmosphere is described as positive, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing Iranian state television, that Abbas Araghchi, the head of the negotiating team and Tehran's foreign minister, made it clear to his American interlocutors that Iran has no intention of stopping uranium enrichment - that is, it is negative to Washington's main demand.
However, he also seems to have assured that Tehran wants to find a diplomatic solution that will prevent a US military intervention in the country.
As reported by Iranian television, the talks have focused on ways to increase transparency and cooperation, with the aim of alleviating American concerns about Iran's nuclear program.
In this context, the possibility of technical flexibility regarding uranium storage and enrichment levels is being examined.
Iran's Tasnim news agency said the talks "are exclusively about the nuclear issue."
However, the United States insists that other issues should be on the negotiating table, such as Iran's missile program, Tehran's support for allies and organizations in the region, and how to handle protests within the country.
According to Tasnim, Iran "will never accept a ban on uranium enrichment," although there are discussions and speculations about the level of enrichment it will be allowed to do.
Trump's intentions are unclear at this time. Meanwhile, two U.S. officials said Friday that senior officials in President Donald Trump's administration do not yet have a clear picture of exactly what the White House wants in the event of military action against Iran, while diplomatic contacts are underway in Oman.
Officials told NBC News that Trump, while leaving open the possibility of regime change in Tehran, has not decided on the exact objectives of a possible military operation.
As they pointed out, there is no clear plan of action and no internal consensus within the US government on the role the United States would play after any such action. In an interview with the same television network on Wednesday, Trump said that Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, "should be very concerned."
