US-Iran talks : Iranians hope for diplomacy and prepare for war

ByMariamne Everett

Published On 7 Feb 20267 Feb 2026

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says he hopes talks with the United States will resume soon, while US President Donald Trump pledged another round of negotiations next week following mediated discussions in Oman.

Araghchi told Al Jazeera on Saturday that Iran’s missile programme was “never negotiable” in Friday’s talks, and warned Tehran would target US military bases in the Middle East if the US attacks Iranian territory.

He added that despite the negotiations in Muscat being indirect, “an opportunity arose to shake hands with the American delegation”. The talks were “a good start“, but he insisted “there is a long way to go to build trust”.

Iranians in the capital, Tehran, however, seemed less positive.

“In my opinion, like previous times, negotiations will end without results because both sides are sticking to their own positions and not willing to back down,” a woman who asked to remain anonymous told Al Jazeera.

Abdullah al-Shayji, a US foreign policy expert at Kuwait University, said he hopes for a new deal between the two foes but is not feeling optimistic.

“There is a strong position” from the US and “being provoked by” Israel to “clamp down on the Iranians because they feel that Iran is at its weakest point” so that it will be easy to extract concessions from it, especially after last month’s antigovernment demonstrations, al-Shayji said from the Al Jazeera Forum in Qatar’s capital Doha.

LLAW’s Thoughts, Concerns, and Fears about Today’s Nuclear World and Beyond . . .

If anyone thought otherwise beyond the failure of these talks for an agreement between Iran and the US,A, I have to wonder why they are having another meeting endorsed by Trump for next week. To shake hands? What a waste of time and expense that would be . . .

This whole charade — since April — has been an “authoritarian power game” executed by Trump, and has cost undo rage and many deaths in both Iran and Israel; and next week’s meeting is not even a “direct meeting”, so why does Trump believe it’s a good id4ea — perhaps for him to swell his chest with military brass medals posturing his self-appointed power to control “All Things Nuclear” — even if he can’t.?

If there is a so-called “legitimate” reason for this meeting and the one next week, it is that Trump is buying time for whatever he has in mind, and the nuclear issues are probably the only appetizers he has left in his excuse for what’s left of his down-the-toilet presidency . . . ~llaw

The Real Reason Trump Wants to Let Our Nuclear Weapons Treaty With Russia Die

By Fred Kaplan

Feb 06, 20263:50 PM

Sign up for the Slatest to get the most insightful analysis, criticism, and advice out there, delivered to your inbox daily.

It’s been a bad habit for a long time, but it’s getting worse: President Donald Trump can’t utter a single statement without lying about his accomplishments or revealing, all too plainly, that self-glorification is what he cares about the most.

Take his post on social media Thursday, affirming—as was clear a few days earlier—that he was going to let New START, the last remaining nuclear arms control treaty between the United States and Russia, expire this week with barely a shrug.

He wrote: “Rather than extend ‘NEW START’ (a badly negotiated deal … that, aside from everything else, is being grossly violated), we should have our Nuclear Experts work on a new, improved, and modernized Treaty that can last long into the future.”

Slate Pears Game 175: Feb. 7, 2026

First, though the treaty—which was signed in 2011—no longer addresses all the salient issues of today’s nuclear landscape, it was in fact a brilliantly negotiated accord in its day, mandating the deepest cuts and tightest on-site-inspection clauses in arms-control history.

The real problem with New START, in Trump’s eyes, was the same problem that compelled him to denounce the Iran nuclear deal as “the worst deal ever” before he tore it up in 2018; he hates them because they were both signed by his loathed and envied predecessor, Barack Obama.

Russian President Vladimir Putin—who has, in fact, abided by New START’s numerical limits—proposed that he and Trump extend the accord by one year, but Trump declined. (The treaty allowed for a one-time five-year extension, which Putin and Joe Biden signed back in 2021, perhaps another reason—since he loathes Biden at least as much as he despises Obama—Trump would rather scuttle the whole deal.)

Then, in this same social media post, for no reason at all (this is the bad habit that I cited at the start of this essay), Trump recites some fibs. For instance: “I completely rebuilt [our] Military in my First Term, including new and many refurbished nuclear weapons.”

This is untrue. Obama approved the development of new nuclear weapons for the entire “strategic Triad”: land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine-launched ballistic missiles, and bombers, as well as new warheads and cruise missiles. (Ironically, he agreed to this as a way of getting Senate hawks to ratify the New START treaty. He was also snookered into this compromise. He agreed to “replace or modernize” the existing arsenal, thinking “modernize” could mean, for instance, upgrading the software on a guidance system. The senators took the term to be synonymous with “replace.”)

During his first term, Trump didn’t add a single new nuclear weapon or accelerate the ones that Obama put in motion. In fact, the first model of the new B-21 bomber took its first flight during Biden’s presidency.

Trump’s social media post goes on: “I … continue to rebuild our Military at levels never seen before.”

This is palpably untrue. The Pentagon is, by some measures, spending more money than almost ever before, but building—of ships, planes, missiles, or whatever—is not growing so much; it’s dwarfed by the rearmament during World War II or the presidencies of John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan.

He rambles on: “We are even adding Battleships, which are 100 times more powerful than the ones that roamed the Seas during World War II.”

This is Trump’s big fantasy, stemming from romanticized memories of watching Victory at Sea, the WWII documentary on TV. But no naval officer wants to revive such relics, and it’s extremely unlikely the gigantic boats will ever be built.

Then came this puzzler: “I have stopped Nuclear Wars from breaking out across the World between Pakistan and India, Iran and Israel, and Russia and Ukraine.”

One might have thought Trump had done enough distorting of his record as peacemaker by claiming that he’d “ended eight-plus wars” (most of which either haven’t yet ended or were ended by actors other than Trump). But this new boast, that he’d “stopped Nuclear Wars from breaking out” shows him engaging in new realms of self-delusion.

The latest round of skirmishes between India and Pakistan hardly escalated at all, much less to the brink of nuclear exchanges, before the fighting stopped. (When Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi scoffed at Trump’s earlier claim of credit for negotiating the peace, Trump slapped him with 50 percent tariffs, a step he has since reversed.)

Nuclear war between Iran and Israel wasn’t remotely in the offing, in part because Iran doesn’t have nuclear weapons. Maybe Trump was thinking that his bombing campaign, which he claimed “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program, preempted this possibility. But now satellite images reveal that Iran is repairing the damage done, suggesting he didn’t obliterate the sites after all.

As for Russia and Ukraine, one could argue that by halting weapons deliveries to Ukraine, Trump thwarted Ukraine’s counteroffensive, thus calming Putin’s fear of losing the war, a prospect he might have blocked by going nuclear—but the logical thread is dubious, and in any case this was an act of appeasement, not peace.

Then, Trump returns to New START. Rather than extending it for a year, he writes, “we should have our Nuclear Experts work on a new, improved, and modernized Treaty that can last long into the future.”

Ah, yes, a “better” New START, just as Trump talked about a “better” Iran nuclear deal back in 2018 after he ripped up the accord signed by the dread Barack Obama. But he never even tried to negotiate an improved Iran deal; he was hoping, perhaps assuming, that his campaign of “maximum pressure” would bring down Tehran’s regime. (It didn’t; it only accelerated its nuclear program.) It’s unclear what he’s aiming for in refusing to extend New START, but it’s just as unlikely he’ll initiate new strategic arms talks, in part because his administration has no “Nuclear Experts,” none with experience at negotiating arms treaties anyway.

A few days before Trump nailed the coffin on New START, Axios reported that the U.S. and Russia were “closing in on a deal” to extend the treaty. The story further reported that the idea had been proposed, at a recent meeting with Russian diplomats, by Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. And why not? Trump has been using this overmatched duo—his son-in-law and his fellow real-estate tycoon—as stand-ins for foreign service officers, gallivanting the globe, trying to make peace deals in Ukraine (fruitless), Gaza (Stage 1 but nothing more), and other hotspots. They know nothing about the old Russian Empire or the Middle East, so why not try their untutored hands at nuclear arms–control talks too? Trump rejected the idea for now, but if he does start new ones, he’ll probably send them to the table.

In any case, New START’s impending expiration has been flashing on the horizon ever since Trump was sworn in for a second term. If he was really serious about negotiating a new, improved treaty, he could have started doing so months ago.

But Trump isn’t interested in the issues, not just on arms control but in general. The most recent case in point—and also the latest chapter in Trump’s quest for immortality—is a report that, during recent talks with Sen. Chuck Schumer, Trump said that he would restore the $16 billion that he’d withdrawn from the Gateway Tunnel—a project to connect New York and New Jersey—if Penn Station and Dulles Airport were renamed after him. (Schumer nixed the notion.)

That says it all. Trump had pretended that he’d killed the tunnel—along with its jobs and improvements in infrastructure—to save money. But in fact, it was all about political punishment (denying funds to blue states) and personal glory (restoring the money for glimmers of immortality).

This article from “SLATE” magazine could be the most important and useful explanation of why we must immediately remove Trump from office and “lock him up”! It is a well considered and thoughtfully written honestly stated story of Trump’s insanity, accurately described by “SLATE”, all of it directly relative to the present status as “talks” with Iran, potentially leading to Nuclear War, and how Trump’s delusions of grandeur and and self-aggrandizement affect the immediate future of the world.

US and Iran agree to Friday talks in Oman but still at odds over agenda

By Simon Lewis, Humeyra Pamuk and Parisa Hafezi

February 4, 202612:27 AM PSTUpdated 13 hours ago

• Summary

• Tensions have escalated since Iran’s crackdown on protests
• Iran requested talks be moved to Oman to limit scope
• Iran wants talks to focus only on its nuclear programme
• Rubio says talks should include missile programme, other issues

WASHINGTON/DUBAI, Feb 4 – The U.S. and Iran have agreed to hold talks in Oman on Friday, officials for both sides said, even as they remained at odds over Washington’s insistence that negotiations include Tehran’s missile arsenal and Iran’s vow to discuss only its nuclear program.

The delicate diplomatic effort comes amid heightened tensions as the U.S. builds up forces in the Middle East and regional players seek to avoid a military confrontation that many fear could escalate into a wider war.

Differences in recent days over the scope and venue for the talks have raised doubts whether the meeting would take place, leaving open the possibility that U.S. President Donald Trump could carry out his threat to strike Iran.

Asked on Wednesday whether Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei should be worried, Trump told NBC News: “I would say he should be very worried. Yeah, he should be.” He added that “they’re negotiating with us” but did not elaborate.

After Trump spoke, U.S. and Iranian officials said the two sides had agreed to shift the talks’ location to Muscat after initially accepting Istanbul.

But there was no indication they had found common ground on the agenda.

Iran has pushed to restrict the negotiations to discussing its long-running nuclear dispute with Western countries.

But U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio presented a different view on Wednesday. “If the Iranians want to meet, we’re ready,” Rubio told reporters. But he added that talks would have to include the range of Iran’s ballistic missiles, its support for armed proxy groups around the Middle East and its treatment of its own people, besides nuclear issues.

A senior Iranian official said, however, that Iran’s missile programme was “off the table.” A second senior Iranian official said Tehran would welcome negotiations over the nuclear dispute but that U.S. insistence on dealing with non-nuclear issues could jeopardize the talks.

Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, was due to take part in the talks, along with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, officials said.

LLAW’s Thoughts, Concerns, and Fears about Today’s Nuclear World and Beyond . . .

This — see the Reuters article above — all sound s more of the same B.S. that Trump has created for every potential talk— except for the meaningless first one — that had only one representative from the U.S. who had no idea about what such a meeting was all about — and of course it fell apart, crashed, and Trump made sure that every future meeting after that was canceled as well by changing the previously settled-on agreed to rules just a day or two before the meetings were to be held, forcing Iran to cancel.

So now I see that his time around Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is due to take part in the talks this t6ime, along with U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff, a real-estate agent, who was the appointee from the April 9th first and only talk, which went nowhere., of course.

We will see how this one goes, if it goes at all, but I believe it will all come to nothing, and that Trump will make sure it fails. As I wrote in my return to this section of my daily blog posts, I believe that Trump is likely secretly in favor of nuclear war, and now that there is no nuclear agreement between Russia and the U.S. , all the major attention and apprehension will turn to the thing that will eventually kill us all known as “nuclear deterrence”, which means a cold war based on adding and upgrading nuclear weapons of mass destruction, which camouflages where and when a real smaller nuclear conflict might break out that will give the U.S., Russia, and perhaps China to turn the first suicidal — and last — nuclear war into WWIII. Please let me be wrong! . . . ~llaw

To tell you the truth, our regard for the dangers of nuclear power have not changed much from “way back when”. Awareness, avoidance, and the burying of “A;; Things Nuclear” . . . LLAW (February 2nd, 2026)

This incredible Post is from a friend who, quite possibly, even today displays our complete ignorance about the dangers of “All Things Nuclear” . . .

”80 years later . . . and we still haven’t advanced much beyond this dangerous nonsense, have we?”, ~my friend.

and a realistic response from today, for today, 80 years later . . .

“OMG, my friend! That outfit would simply add more fuel to the nuclear fire, but it’s not a whole lot different than building an underground bunker and expecting to live happily ever-after. Few of us, even today, have any concept of what a single modern nuclear bomb can do to a single metropolis like NYC or DC and surrounds.” ~me

“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity

Lloyd A. Williams-Pendergraft

Feb 01, 2026

LLAW’s Nuclear World News’ Image and/or Lead Story for Today . . .

To make a very long story short — briefly described in today’s “All Things Nuclear” Post — uranium is the last energy fuel that should ever be used, not only because it is of lethal danger at all times, but because it is far and away the most expensive, meaning the dollars saved from nuclear power could be much better used for renewable sources of our human energy needs. (Read On!) ~llaw

This is what a typical open pit uranium mine looks like after a few years of excavation with millions of dollars worth of labor, equipment, mechanical repair facilities, haul roads, ore and product weigh scales, along with ongoing operations day and nigh, all before the ore gets hauled, delivered to uranium refinement mills where an additional several million dollars worth of day/night shifts labor, facilities, equipment, multiple stories of reagent refinement tanks and conveyor belts operate — eventually leading to radioactive waste ponds as well as the mildly radioactive yellowcake (U3O8) uranium product, which is barreled in drums and shipped off to more facilities for further refinement and enrichment.

A uranium mining/milling operation also requires management and administrative offices, health and safety facilities, warehouses at both the minesite and mill site, plus a chemistry facility, also costing millions of dollars — and sometimes an entire townsite..

And then there is the enormous cost of labor. But wait, there is more . . .

So, perhaps you are beginning to understand the incredible cost of producing the basic finished product which eventually provides U235 as the fuel to operate an extremely expensive nuclear power plant — often with multiple nuclear reactors that create nuclear energy and also nuclear waste, which is without doubt the most environmentally dangerous to human and other life than any other fuel source.. Yet the industry claims uranium fuel is “clean”. I laugh every time I hear the two words spoken together. SMRs (Small Nuclear Reactors) are far from small, and I would never want one in my neighborhood . . .

And ,finally, then there is the cost of uranium mining and milling reclamation which involves backfilling the huge open pit(s) of extraction and destroying the mine and mill facilities, the overhead facilities, including safety issues like surface reclamation and safely removing tailings ponds, all costing additional millions of dollars.

This summary of most, but not all, of the cost of nuclear power is not only incredibly expensive — it is also filled with extremely dangerous mishandling or accidental mistakes in the entire process from first shovel-full to the last ounce of nuclear waste.

But my point is that power plants from uranium operations are far, far, more expensive than renewable power like Solar, Wind, Hydro (Hydropower), Geothermal, and others.

To make a very long story short, uranium is the last energy fuel that should ever be used, not only because it is of lethal danger at all times, but because it is far and away the most expensive, meaning the dollars saved from nuclear power could be much better used for renewable sources of our human energy needs.

A good way to do away with — rid ourselves forever — of “All Things Nuclear” would be to dump them all back into the pits where they came from and then begin the reclamation processes that have not been finished or adequately reclaimed. Other large open pit mines such as abandoned or extinct copper mines that have never been reclaimed could join the party. ~ llaw (This post was originally written, but never posted, a couple of years ago.)

“End Nuclear Insanity Before Nuclear Insanity Ends Humanity”

Lloyd A. Williams-Pendergraft

Jan 31, 2026

LLAW’s Nuclear World News’ Image and/or Lead Story for Today . . .

Presidential Aides carrying the USA’s “nuclear football” containing the nuclear code that only the President can use to launch a nuclear weapon . . . But do we trust our current president — or any individual whomever it may be — to be the sole decision-maker whether or not to engage in nuclear war?

Hopefully, the current U.S. president, if not already, has been somehow prevented from being a part of this kind of mass global “suicidal” activity that, if ever used, would automatically bring on WWIII followed by the virtual end of humanity and other life everywhere . . .

Having such an irresponsible offensive or defensive nuclear war control system along with and considering the use of “nuclear deterrence” to avoid nuclear war makes me wonder why nuclear armed nations continue to constantly build more and more powerful missiles and weapons of mass destruction when we know that the use of just one nuclear bomb, even from an older stockpile, would be exactly like the little old match that burned down the entire forest and everything around it.

IMHO, it is —pure and simple — human insanity caused by multiple mental incapacity by al international l self-aggrandizing leaders who believe they can rule the world via all kinds of negative mental aberrations far too plentiful to bother to mention here. ~llaw

This daily blog post will, for the next several issues at least, contains only the daily compiled LLAW’s Nuclear World News Today for an unknown period without comment or critique because my eyesight has quite suddenly become impossible for me to continue. (Google compiles the category lists from news sources for me automatically during the course of a day, so the articles and stories themselves are not a problem to post, although they are often out of category order, which I will do my best to correct each day.)

But, rest assured, I’m not going away — I am doing everything in my power to remedy the problem with my eyes — and I hope to return to a full daily report, including new, stronger and more internationally important commentary, of “All Things Nuclear” as soon as I am physically able . . . ~llaw\

According to a man who would know! Why WWIII would be the end of life on Planet Earth if the world-wide hatred of ourselves should stoop so low as to annihilate one-another with nuclear weapons of mass destruction.

However, Einstein had no idea that commercial nuclear power would someday arrive to add to the dangers of nuclear weapons of mass destruction nor that we should all add this more recent secondary realization instantly into the forefront of our minds: because Nuclear Power Plants can do the same thing in so many more ways at any given time, and the more of them that come online the greater the odds against humanity and other life on planet Earth . . . ~llaw
