Iranian Official Warns of US Geopolitical Aims Amid Nuclear Talks

Tensions Rise as Iranian Official Warns of US Aims to 'Dismantle' Iran Geopolitically. Abolfazl Zohrevand, a member of the Iranian parliament’s national security and foreign policy committee, has cast doubt on the success of the upcoming fifth round of nuclear negotiations. In an interview with Al Arabiya, Zohrevand stated that the talks will be fruitless unless Iran enters with clear conditions. He further alleged that the United States is not merely trying to contain Iran’s nuclear program, but is actively seeking to dismantle Iran geopolitically. "The fifth round of negotiations will not produce any results unless Iran enters with clear and specific conditions," Zohrevand said. He added, "The Americans have not retreated from their previous positions." His remarks underscore the ongoing challenges and heightened tensions in the international arena. Zohrevand's comments highlight the deep mistrust and significant obstacles to a peaceful resolution.
