So that's one possible way that this all may go about.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

But this is the mess that Trump has gotten us into.

And gas still remains a what?

Let's see.

Professor, I do want to ask you about the reception in Tehran to this more recent Trump concession, saying yesterday that the preferable solution for enriched energy

uranium is to have it either be down blended, destroyed on Iranian soil, or transported to a third party, presumably Russia or China.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

This previously was not something that President Trump was willing to accept, at least publicly.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

How was the reception to that in Tehran?

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

Is it viewed as a positive concession on the way to a deal or otherwise?

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

Professor, how does the Iran view this more recent addition by the Trump administration to insist that all of the regional countries must recognize Israel via the Abraham Accords as part of some sort of comprehensive ceasefire between the United States and Iran?

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

Professor, give us some signs that we can look for here in the West to actually see that a deal may be happening.

However, we've seen numerous trips.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

We've seen the Pakistani army chief visit Tehran.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar

Then we saw strikes that just happened yesterday.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

So how can we assess the willingness in your country to actually want to sign a deal?

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

And same for us.

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

What concessions can we look for from the American side that still remain outstanding?

Breaking Points with Krystal and Saagar
5/26/26: Trump Bombs Iran, Prof Marandi On Negotiations, Trump Pauses Taiwan Arms Sales

Turning now to Taiwan, on the heels of the Trump-Xi summit, it appears now the United States will pause weapons sales to Taiwan, blaming the situation on the war with Iran and the need to conserve ammunition.
