Jamshid Barzgar, a journalist and political analyst, said that despite the efforts of the countries in the region to prevent a new round of attacks, the difference in the positions of Washington and Tehran has hindered considerable progress in the negotiations. According to him, Mohsen Razai's emphasis on not removing enriched uranium from Iran and Marco Rubio's positions regarding the difficulty of reaching an agreement, darkened the prospect of diplomacy and increased the possibility of American military action.
Also referring to the power competition in the structure of the Islamic Republic, Barzgar said that Mohsen Razai and Muhammad Mukhabar currently have the upper hand in decision-making. In his estimation, Muhammad Bakr Kalibaf, despite his efforts to return to the center of the negotiations, does not have a decisive role, and the recent disputes are a reflection of the power struggle within the government.
