Negotiations with the Iranian Regime: An Effort to Extract It from the Bottleneck

No one in this deceitful global system cares about the condition and fate of the oppressed and downtrodden in the Middle East. They see nothing but a continuous stream of genocidal events in the Middle East for hot statements, unique camera shots, and as material for media that creates stars in the world of journalism, generating glory through viewership and advertisements for television channels. They profit from human suffering, often assisting the perpetrator in burying their victims in silence, if not openly obscuring falsehood as truth.
Will this world care about the plight of the Iranian people, then the Iraqis, then the Lebanese, Syrians, and Yemenis, especially when it hasn’t cared about the Palestinian people who have suffered for over a hundred years? Will the West, its allies, soldiers, and tools find anyone to serve them better than the ruling mullah regime in Iran, which has destroyed four Arab countries (Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen, Syria), and today enables them to shatter the Palestinian cause and the dream of restoring Palestinian rights? The mullah regime knows well the West's propensity for maneuvering and appeasement, just as it knows what to place in the bouquets of roses offered during cozy moments! Here, we ask: will the West ever sincerely follow up on its intentions, slogans, and the polished values it has woven to deceive human societies on this planet and even themselves?
We bring nothing from our side nor assume a specific narrative; more than a year ago, statements from both the International Atomic Energy Agency and the U.S. administration indicated that the mullah regime in Iran was only months, weeks, or days away from acquiring a nuclear bomb or multiple nuclear bombs. According to a secret United Nations report referenced by the Wall Street Journal, Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium has significantly increased, reaching 275 kilograms enriched to 60%, enough to produce six nuclear bombs, and according to this trajectory, the regime could produce a nuclear bomb every month.
At that time, Elon Musk secretly met with a senior official in the Trump administration and the Iranian representative at the United Nations. Media reports in America and Iran discussed that meeting, with Iranian officials stating that the American president was a businessman and could be dealt with, meaning that there were paths to interact with him. President Trump himself had previously indicated that behind the curtains, there were scenarios, maneuvers, and concessions between them and the Velayat-e Faqih regime. This was evident in the United States' policy toward this regime, which has been keen to maintain a calming distance between both parties while allowing some room for statements and media coverage, each according to its size, with the important caveat of not crossing red lines.
What’s new today is that the American administration, which previously made statements about the mullahs' nuclear program and other aspects related to the apparent struggle between both sides, now claims that the Iranian regime is not currently in the process of manufacturing a nuclear weapon. This may mean that there is no Iranian nuclear weapon, but rather fears about the regime possessing such a weapon. This requires negotiations and further pressures for it. Here we ask: what is new regarding the negotiations? All previous American administrations have negotiated with the Velayat-e Faqih regime and imposed multiple pressures, but this has made no difference except for providing the Iranian regime with more time. The upcoming negotiations will likely lead to more concessions and gains that will not dismantle the Iranian nuclear and missile programs or even weaken the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which has caused the devastation of Iran and the region. These negotiations will either end or continue to keep the mullah regime in power in Iran, perpetuating the suffering of the Iranian people and the peoples of the region.
The vast majority of the people in the region understand the current events regarding the West's efforts to keep the area mired in crises and that the West's way to achieve this is by supporting the continuation of the extremist mullah regime ruling in Iran, which enables them to rein in the Middle East, strip it of its will and resources, and control the reality of global development while limiting Russian and Chinese influence in the region. The people in the region also acknowledge the existence of American-Iranian coordination as a dire necessity to implement plans concerning the area. Without the mullah regime, they would not have been able to destroy Syria, Hezbollah, Gaza, or kill and displace its people. Without it, they would not have turned the Houthis into a tool of pressure on the Gulf states. The West and Americans maneuver and appease while the mullah regime adapts to their plans and maneuvers to ensure its survival in power, indifferent to the human rights violations occurring in Iran and the threats it poses to the region and its stability. The West and the Americans previously gifted.
In conclusion, wouldn't it be easier and better to assist the Iranian resistance in its project to overthrow the Iranian regime and save the Iranian people and the peoples of the region? This regime and its extremist terrorist forces inside Iran and the region could have been done years ago, but the West avoided it, just as they avoided targeting the Revolutionary Guards militia. Under this policy of appeasement and maneuvering, the mullahs' nuclear and missile programs will not cease, nor will the mullahs cease their regional expansionist interventions. There is no solution except through national surprises created by the peoples and catching global imperialism off guard.
