Report: Iran asks Saudi Arabia to urge America to restart nuclear talks

Jason Brodsky, of United Against Nuclear Iran, stated that “it’s a fantasy to expect the U.S. to soften its demands.”

The Iranian regime sent a letter to Saudi Arabia earlier this week asking that the Gulf nation attempt to convince the Trump administration to restart nuclear negotiations, Reuters reported.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian wrote to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that Tehran is not looking for confrontation and that the regime is “open to resolving the nuclear dispute through diplomacy, provided its rights are guaranteed,” per Reuters.

Bin Salman had met at the White House with U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday.

Jason Brodsky, policy director at United Against Nuclear Iran, posted on social media that “all the letters in the world will not change the fact that the maximum the Iranian regime is willing to offer does not meet the minimum the U.S. is willing to accept.”

He added that “especially with Iran weakened, it’s a fantasy to expect the U.S. to soften its demands.”

The U.S. vice president said Israeli officials sought to shape U.S. public opinion against the administration’s Iran strategy, rejected accusations that he is anti-Israel and defended maintaining a relationship based on shared interests.
A spokesperson for the organization told JNS that the updated report includes “anything that pertains to Zionism and Israel, including the ‘loyalty test’ for its members and declarations that show support or justification for terrorism, and that target Jewish people.”
“No one prosecuted these plaintiffs, fined them or sent them so much as a stern letter,” Mark Goldfeder of the National Jewish Advocacy Center told JNS. “They silenced themselves and then sued over the silence.”
The Anti-Defamation League told JNS that “the letter contains explicit, threatening language targeting Jewish people and relies on vile antisemitic tropes that have historically been used to incite violence.”
