Iran Returns to Its Negotiating Stall
(Wall Street Journal) Editorial - During Friday's negotiations in Oman, Iran refused to end enrichment of nuclear fuel or move it offshore. The U.S. and Israel disabled Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity by force in June, but the regime won't promise to forswear it in the future, according to Iranian state media. It is also hard to see Iran agreeing to strict limits on its missile program and an end to its support for regional terrorist proxies. In an interview aired Wednesday, Vice President JD Vance expressed frustration with Iran's negotiating style. "The person who makes the decisions in Iran is the Supreme Leader," not the so-called reformist President, he said. "But it's a very weird country to conduct diplomacy with when you can't even talk to the person who's in charge of the country." President Trump said Wednesday that Iran had sought to restart its nuclear program, at an old site and a new site. It has rapidly restored its ballistic-missile program. It sent Hizbullah a billion dollars to rebuild in 2025. This is a picture of a regime digging in, not changing its ways.
