US Media: Trump's Team Has Secretly Conspired to Negotiate Peace with Iran, Details Revealed

The military strikes by the United States and Israel against Iran have now lasted over three weeks. On the 21st, Axios News cited anonymous sources reporting that the Trump administration has begun planning for negotiations with Iran, conducting preliminary talks through a third party. Trump’s special envoy Witkov and son-in-law Kushner are involved.

Axios News, citing an American official and two other informed sources, reported that U.S. officials believe the conflict will continue for another two to three weeks. Meanwhile, Trump’s advisory team is seeking to end the conflict through diplomatic means.

The U.S. demands that any agreement must include the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the handling of Iran’s high-enriched uranium, as well as long-term commitments regarding Iran’s nuclear program, ballistic missile projects, and support for regional proxies. Specific requirements include: Iran must not develop missile projects or engage in uranium enrichment for five years, cease operations at the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear facilities, impose strict limits on the construction and use of centrifuges and related machinery, reach arms control agreements with regional countries involving missile range restrictions, and refrain from funding regional armed groups such as Hamas, Houthi rebels in Yemen, and Hezbollah in Lebanon.

The report states that the U.S. and Iran have not had direct contact recently, but instead communicate through third parties like Egypt and Qatar. Egypt and Qatar have informed the U.S. and Israel that Iran’s conditions include ensuring that hostilities do not reignite and that Iran receives compensation. U.S. officials revealed that Trump considers Iran’s compensation demands “unfeasible.”

Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi said on the 20th that U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran are illegal and unjustified acts of aggression, and called for global unity to oppose them. Several countries have begun pushing for a ceasefire, but Iran is only considering a comprehensive solution to end the war. Iran does not accept a temporary ceasefire but demands a complete end to the conflict, including guarantees that Iran will no longer be attacked and compensation for damages suffered.

Araghchi also stated that he does not believe the U.S. is prepared for negotiations.
