The Americans hope that an agreement with Iran, if reached, will turn the Iranians into peace seekers. But if that's what they think, they still haven't understood the true nature of the ayatollah regime, 40 years after it seized power in Tehran.
The collapse of the previous nuclear deal in 2015 allowed the Iranians to become a nuclear threshold state, with knowledge and capabilities, facilities and equipment that will enable them to produce nuclear weapons within a short time – a few months, or at most a few years. The Iranian leadership’s desire is to preserve the status quo as much as possible, and for that purpose, they are willing to show far-reaching flexibility, commit that Iran will not produce a nuclear bomb, and even give up some of the enriched uranium in its possession. But as we know; the Islamic precept of al-takkya, allows them to tell lies and deceive infidels. Who are every non-muslim.
Any agreement is just a piece of paper that can be violated in a few years, after Trump leaves the White House or when the regional and international reality changes. Therefore, it's possible to discuss and talk about any agreement that doesn't require Iran to give up what it has – not its regional proxies, not its military projects and missile arsenal, and also not its nuclear research infrastructure.
In Tehran, there is serious concern for the future of the ayatollah regime. The economic situation is deteriorating, and suppressed domestic protests are erupting above the surface. A war between Iran and the US and Israel, if it breaks out, could prove to be the final nail in the coffin of this extremist regime. Iran needs an agreement like air to breathe, but it plays its cards well. The Iranians are masters of negotiation, which is why the media portrays the Americans as the ones eager to reach an agreement.
The problem is that those who don't address the Iranian threat today will face a much more dangerous threat in the future.
