• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Iran says it hasn't reached a final decision on a
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: deal with Washington, despite President Trump's claim that a deal
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: to end the current conflict was close. Tehran said the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: text of the proposed agreement was currently being reviewed, but
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Iran would not compromise on its red lines. The US
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: president has made similar claims in the past that the
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: two countries are close to reaching a deal to end
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the conflict. Hours before the announcement, President Trump declared that
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: he would hit Iran very hard. So let's speak to
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: our mid least analysts. Luciano Zakara, Hello, welcome to the program.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Where are we with this mixed signals, mixed communications? What's
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: your assessment?
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: Well, we are still facing this exchange of announcement that
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: on one side, the Trump keeps cleaning for I don't
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: know how many times that the deal it's done, and
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: on the other hand, the onion claiming that there is
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: no deal. What's aever? So I think that we are
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: now witnessing a situation in which or a trend in
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: which Trump decided to normalize the use of violence to
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: claim or the military strengths to claim that making an
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: improvement in the in the in the negotiation is the
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: result of the use of this force, and he's reaffirming
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: its own way of making the politics with Iran by
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: accessing to violence or to military attacks every time he
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: feels that he's not reaching what he wants. So on
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: a weekly basis, we see that he's increasing the tension,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: is escalating then the situation against Iran and claiming that
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: because he did that, we are getting closer to a deal.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: It's normalizing the use of violence to reach a diplomatic goal.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: And this is a very dangerous trend because all the
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: three actors involving this war as well Iran and the
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: that the States have normalized the use of violence to
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: reach their goals. Previous rounds of negotiations were done during
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the JCP, were done without a war. Now we're in
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: the situation of no peace, no war, but in which
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: we have military attacks on a daily base while there
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: are negotiations moving forward supposedly because we can't deny that
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: there are some communications and there are some gap they
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: have been breached by the United States and Iran, but
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: still we are very far to reach that agreement that
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Trump keeps announcing on a weekly base.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: You mentioned he you know until it gets what he wants.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: The way things have changed so often, what does President
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Trump want? What's his main priority out of this?
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Well, according to the latest developments of the est announcement,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: what he wants since that Iran is not having a
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: nuclear weapon. This is something that he kept saying, and
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: this is what yesterday he said that Iran promised that
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: they will not have anuclear weapon and that they will
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: not purchase a new clear weapon, something that was never
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: mentioned before. However, if we recall what Iran has been since,
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: since the very beginning of this and since the agreement
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Rich in twenty thirteen fifteen with Obama, is that they
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Ran never wanted to have a nuclear weapon, they never
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: were looking for a nuclear weapon, and that all the
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: JP structure was actually to make sure that the interestal
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: community is aware that Iran is not deviating any of
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: this technological development towards a military use. So basically, Trump
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: is trying to save his back saying that he achieved
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: what anybody else achieved before, which is Iran will not
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: have a nuclear weapon, when actually this has been always
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: the main thing that Iran promise and I agree that
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: we will not do to have a nuclear weapon because
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: it was against their own way of understanding the development
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: of nuclear technology. So the bottom line for tremise that
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: he needs to sell a deal that for his own
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: voters or some people or some public is better than
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: the JCPA in two US fifteen. But however, the things
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: he would achieve is basically the same that he was
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: achieved into SUSA fifteen let alone. But other elements Trump
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: was asking for. We don't see any mentions about the
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: reduction of the missile capabilities so far. We didn't hear
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: what is going to happen with the Strait of Hormous.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Most probably he will claim that as a result of
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: the deal, he opened the Strait of Hormous, when actually
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: he closed the Strait of Hormos because of the attack.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: So what he wants is what he can obtain. At
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: the end of the day, he will claim he won't
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: because he obtained what he wanted, but he keeps changing,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: minimizing the things that that he can obtain.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Lisiana Zacara, thank you very much, and of course we'll
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: watch very closely to see what developments take place. Thank you.
