Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, an international affairs expert and head of the Iqbal Forum, in an interview with Asia News (English network), explained the behind-the-scenes developments of recent agreements and the critical situation of the United States in the region:
- Is a major agreement on the way?
The second round of Iran–U.S. negotiations in Islamabad could be the final round.
The main objective: achieving a permanent ceasefire and ending prolonged tensions.
- Strait of Hormuz or the “Iran Strait”?
Trump’s media deception: Contrary to Trump’s claims, the Strait of Hormuz has not been fully reopened!
Smart management: Traffic through the strait has dropped from 140 ships to just 25 per day (only 20% capacity).
Iran allows increased passage only if the U.S. fully fulfills its commitments regarding Lebanon and restraining Israel, and also lifts restrictions on the movement of Iranian ships around the Sea of Oman.
- Enrichment; a non-reversible red line
Knowledge is in the mind, not in storage: The U.S. is seeking “nuclear dust,” but enrichment knowledge exists in the minds of Iranian scientists and cannot be eliminated.
Iran may show flexibility on the duration or level of enrichment, but the principle of enrichment for medical and energy purposes will never be abandoned.
- A response to Trump’s Twitter theatrics
Trump is trying to present the conditional reopening of the strait as a “personal victory.”
Bagheri’s message to Pakistani intermediaries: Tell Trump that if he seeks an agreement, he must control his emotional behavior and unpredictable tweets.
- An enemy that led to good! (A weapon stronger than a nuclear bomb)
A humiliating failure: The U.S. moved from the slogan of “regime change in 72 hours” to pleading for the “reopening of the strait”!
Citing a poem by Saadi (“The enemy may become a cause of good…”), Bagheri emphasized that U.S. pressure enabled Iran to obtain a strategic weapon stronger than a hundred nuclear bombs: “complete control over the world’s energy artery.”
