President Trump is "curious" why Iran has "not capitulated" in the face of pressures exerted by Washington, said Steve Witkoff, the special envoy of the White House.

Steve Witkoff, the special envoy of the White House, stated that President Donald Trump is 'curious' why Iran has not agreed to limit its nuclear program, despite the massive buildup of American military forces in the Middle East. Witkoff emphasized that, despite the pressures, Iran has not presented a clear proposal to abandon its nuclear activities.

The Trump administration has prepared plans for a possible air campaign against Iran, while Tehran has warned that it will strike American bases if attacked. Iran denies intentions to develop nuclear weapons and insists that its program is peaceful, being willing to accept restrictions in exchange for lifting financial sanctions.

Witkoff mentioned that Iran is enriching uranium to a dangerous level, being close to obtaining material for a bomb. He also had meetings with Iranian opponents, including Reza Pahlavi, who suggested that a U.S. military intervention could save lives.
