Importance
Level 1
Talk details:
- US Special Envoy to the Middle East Witkoff and envoy Kushner had talks.
- Discussions were on Sunday, into the evening.
- They want to make a deal, and "we want a deal too".
- Will talk today, probably by phone.
- Talked to top leadership.
- "We will get together with Iran, probably by phone".
- Iran called, "I did not call".
- Cannot guarantee a deal.
- If a deal happens, it is a great start for Iran and great for the region.
Potential Agreements:
- There are 15 points of agreement.
- They have agreed to no nuclear weapons.
Potential Demands:
- Looking for no nuclear weapons, wants peace in the Middle East.
- We want to see no nuclear bomb or weapon for Iran.
- Want no enrichment.
- Very easy to take enriched uranium ourselves, if we have a deal.
Israel:
- Spoke to Israel a little while ago; Israel will be happy with what we have on Iran.
Oil:
- "I want to have as much oil in the system as possible".
- Does not think Iran are getting any oil money.
- The Strait of Hormuz will reopen very soon, "if it works".
- Strait of Hormuz will be jointly controlled, by "me and the Ayatollah".
- Will open soon, but not clear on conditions.
- Price of oil will "drop like a rock", as soon as a deal is done.
US Troops / Escalation:
- "We do not talk strategy, when asked about possibility of US troops".
- Hitting any power plants would be different than what Russia is doing in Ukraine.
- Reiterates his belief that Iran was an imminent threat.
- They have no telecommunication, so imagine they have a lack of communication.
Leadership:
- Have not heard from Ayatollah's son; "I do not want him to be killed". The person we are speaking with is not Iran's supreme leader.
- Iran does have some leaders left.
- Nobody knows what happened to the new Supreme Leader.
- "I do not consider him as the leader".
- Maybe we will find a leader like we did in Venezuela.
