The latest talks between American envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in Qatar reveal that an accord over a nuclear deal is shaping up, and 64 percent of Republicans are pleased with the negotiations.
On Tuesday, in Saudi Arabia, Axios reported that President Trump’s administration gave Iran a proposal for a nuclear deal during the fourth round of negotiations. President Trump said that this proposal is an “olive branch” and that it is not an offer that will last forever. The time is right now for them to choose.”
CBS News reported that President Trump told reporters at a business roundtable in Qatar on Thursday that the negotiations for long-term peace between Witkoff and Araghchi have resulted in some kind of agreement. He said, “Iran has sort of agreed to the terms: They’re not going to make, I call it, in a friendly way, nuclear dust,” and added, “We’re not going to be making any nuclear dust in Iran.”
Breitbart shared the results of a survey from the University of Maryland Critical Issues Poll program, conducted by SSRS Opinion Panel Omnibus, revealed that 64 percent of Republicans believe that negotiating with Iran to prevent the country from obtaining a nuclear weapon is the best option. The poll also showed that only 14 percent of Americans (24 percent Republicans) disagree and believe that war is the better option.
According to Axios, President Trump has stressed that he wants to avoid a war because “things like that get started and they get out of control. I’ve seen it over and over again… we’re not going to let that happen.”
Witkoff agrees that negotiations with Iran are the best way to land the deal. During an exclusive with Breitbart, Witkoff told the news outlet, “He [Trump] believes in peace through strength, which essentially means that resorting to violence and war is not necessarily in the best interest of the country.”
Witkoff also took some time to slam those people who believe that going to war is the best option and claims they have a “confirmation bias.” He explained, “They have a bias toward military interaction,” and added, “They give no consideration whatsoever on what the consequences are on that.”
