Steve Witkoff, the U.S. special envoy to the Middle East and chief negotiator on Iran appointed by former President Donald Trump, has set a firm stance ahead of the fourth round of nuclear negotiations with Iran. Witkoff declared that Iran must completely dismantle its uranium enrichment facilities located in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan, emphasizing that no uranium enrichment program can ever exist in Iran again. He described this as a "red line" for the United States, meaning no enrichment, no weaponization, and full dismantlement of these sites. Witkoff urged Iran to reduce uranium enrichment levels, transfer nuclear materials to a distant location, and convert its nuclear program to a purely civilian one. He stated that Iran does not need uranium enrichment capability to operate a civilian nuclear program. Witkoff also warned that the U.S. would not accept a weak agreement and would withdraw if the deal is not strong. Additionally, he proposed that if Iran agrees to dismantle its nuclear program and purchase enriched uranium from the United States, Washington would lift sanctions and take military action off the table. Witkoff reiterated that negotiations currently focus solely on the nuclear issue and that the U.S. is prepared to take alternative paths if the talks fail. He emphasized that Iran has no choice but to accept U.S. terms to dismantle its military nuclear program, signaling a tough U.S. approach to ensure Iran does not develop nuclear weapons.
