AIJournalist Ali Al-Bardi said that reaching an imminent solution to Iran's nuclear file does not appear likely.
Speaking in an interview with Al Arabiya FM, Al-Bardi added that Iran insists on retaining its enriched materials and seeks to be treated as a major power, which Washington finds difficult to accept.
He continued that the Iranian side is becoming increasingly inflexible regarding its handling of enriched materials. As a result, it is difficult to reach a solution due to mutual distrust and Iran's desire for the United States and the world to recognize it as a great power—something the US will not accept.
Al-Bardi also noted that Iran repeatedly hears from the American side the message: "You need to sit with us at the table to strike a deal because we are using military force at a high level." He pointed out that the previous American-Iranian conflict lasted five weeks and failed to destroy all of Iran's nuclear facilities.
