Reza Namvar Haqiqi, a political analyst, said that despite Donald Trump’s reference to the continuation of negotiations with Tehran, it is unlikely that Washington will accept the Islamic Republic’s conditions to lift the siege and oil-related sanctions.

He added that the level of distrust between the two sides is very high, and reaching an agreement is possible only in the form of step-by-step action. According to Namvar Haqiqi, developments in Yemen, the pressure of sanctions, the state of the energy market, and U.S. domestic calculations can affect the course of the negotiations and the likelihood of heightened tensions in the coming days.
