A number of problems and issues arise that prevent reaching an agreement between… US andIran To end the war in the region, which has entered its fourth month, what are the most important things?
Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf
Iran’s closure led to Strait of Hormuzthrough which about a fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments usually passed, led to an unprecedented shock in oil supplies, which led to a rise in the prices of fuel, food, and fertilizers.
Reopening the Strait is a top priority for Washington and an important point of influence for Tehran, but it may take some time.
There are a lot of ships stuck in GulfIran says it has planted some sea mines that may be difficult to locate.
Iran’s exports and state revenues are affected by the US blockade on Iranian ports. Lifting this blockade is one of Tehran’s main goals.
Nuclear file
The United States says it believes Iran wants to build a nuclear bomb. Iran constantly denies this, saying that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only. The focus is on uranium enrichment, which creates fuel for nuclear power but can also be material for making nuclear warheads.
The nuclear issue is very complex, as Iran is enriching some… Uranium It has a purity of up to 60 percent, far exceeding the five percent level used in most reactors to generate electricity, with other stocks enriched at 20 percent, five percent and two percent. Iranian sources said that they may eventually agree to reduce the purity of highly enriched uranium in a friendly country to five percent purity and then restore it.
But many other issues still need to be addressed: how long the nuclear program will be suspended, whether the nuclear sites will be dismantled, what will happen to uranium enriched below the highest levels of purity, the future of Iran’s advanced centrifuges, and the rules governing the inspection regime, among others.

Ballistic missiles
One of the most important American demands before the war was for Iran to limit the range of its ballistic missiles so that it would not be able to reach… Israel. Iran has always said that its right to possess conventional weapons is non-negotiable, and that it still possesses a large arsenal.
Sanctions and frozen assets
The Iranian economy has been affected by sanctions for years, which contributed to the outbreak of unrest in the country in January. And you need Tehran We strongly urge the lifting of these sanctions and the release of Iranian oil revenues amounting to tens of billions of dollars frozen in foreign banks. It also wants compensation for war damage.
The United States opposes this, as the US President criticizes it Donald Trump The decision of the former president was strongly criticized Barack Obama Returning some frozen assets to Iran under the nuclear agreement concluded in 2015. Some media reported that the most recent draft agreement would include an investment program for Iran.
Lebanon
Iran has repeatedly said that any agreement must address Israel’s war against…Hezbollah“.
Israel will oppose any agreement between the United States and Iran that limits the scope of what it can do Lebanon.
