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.
