FIRST ON FOX \u2013 Experts on the Islamic Republic of Iran\u2019s manipulative atomic weapons bargaining strategy issued a dire warning to team Trump negotiators on how to avoid falling into the trap of former President Barack Obama\u2019s flawed nuclear deal with Iran.<\/p>\n
President Trump issued a scathing indictment of Obama\u2019s agreement when he withdrew from the atomic accord in 2018, declaring, ‘This was a horrible one-sided deal that should have never, ever been made.’ Trump asserted that Obama\u2019s 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), the formal name for the Iran nuclear deal, did not stop Tehran from building an atomic bomb.<\/p>\n
Experts from United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) published a report that outlines the 10 negotiating tactics Iran exploits to secure major concessions while retaining its capability to construct a nuclear weapon.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The report, in an ode to President Trump\u2019s famous 1987 book ‘The Art of the Deal,’ is called: ‘Iran\u2019s Version of the \u2018Art of the Deal” and was authored by Saeid Golkar, Jason M. Brodsky and Kasra Aarabi.<\/p>\n
The 10 tactics Iran uses in nuclear negotiations to outorganize the U.S. government and its allies, according to UANI, are:<\/p>\n
The Grass Can Be Greener Promises vague future rewards to keep talks alive without offering anything concrete.<\/p>\n
Exploit the illusion of political pluralism \u2013 use ‘moderates’ vs. ‘hardliners’ to extract concessions, even though all power lies with the supreme leader.<\/p>\n
Dangle phantom investment deals to lure Western governments and companies \u2013 then pull the rug out.<\/p>\n
Issue exaggerated threats to stir anti-war sentiment and paralyze tough policymaking in the U.S.<\/p>\n
Resist clear commitments; rely on vague language to allow deniability while still benefiting from deals. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Engage in endless, exhausting talks to delay action, offering superficial gestures to avoid real consequences<\/p>\n
Invoke historical grievances to justify current behavior and shift blame onto the West.<\/p>\n
Exploit rifts within Western alliances \u2013 between the U.S. and Europe, or even within U.S. administrations <\/p>\n
Use bazaar-style haggling tactics \u2013 start high, concede slow, cloak intentions in false politeness.<\/p>\n
Leak selectively and spin the media narrative to present Iran as the reasonable actor driving diplomacy.<\/p>\n
The UANI experts explained in greater detail in their report how Iran\u2019s regime maximizes gains with minimum concessions via its 10 deceptive bargaining tactics. <\/p>\n
According to the UANI ‘These are derived from direct accounts from individuals who have firsthand experience in negotiating and dealing with Iranian officials, native Iranian policy experts, as well as from observations from veteran Iran watchers.’<\/p>\n
The Trump administration and Iran have just completed a third round of indirect nuclear talks. According to Reuters, Omani officials have said a new round of U.S.-Iran talks could be held on May 3 in Europe. No formal decision has been taken.<\/p>\n
Iran has reached out to Britain, France and Germany ahead of the next negotiating session. This suggests Tehran is keeping its options open, but also wants to assess where the Europeans stand on the possible re-imposition of U.N. sanctions before October, when a resolution ratifying the 2015 accord expires.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
UANI says Iran is seeking to play the EU against U.S. to weaken the Western alliance. The experts wrote that Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ali ‘Ayatollah Khamenei\u2019s overarching strategy has been rooted in his so-called \u2018West without the U.S.\u2019 method. Grounded in Khamenei\u2019s and the Islamic Republic\u2019s vehement anti-Americanism, this strategy has sought to divide the Europeans from the U.S. to undercut U.S. national interests.’<\/p>\n
UANI argued that the Iranian regime’s ‘gimmicks are meant to try to mask the fact that the Iranians are offering nothing more than the concessions it made to President Obama under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) of 2015.’<\/p>\n
Iran seeks to manipulate nuclear talks to diminish the ‘ideal conditions for Israel and\/or the U.S. to take military action against Tehran,’ noted UANI. Trump\u2019s military threats to target Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities have forced Tehran to engage in negotiations, according to the experts.<\/p>\n
President Donald Trump may prefer a diplomatic solution to stop Iran\u2019s creep toward a nuclear weapon, but recently claimed he\u2019ll be ‘leading the pack’ to war with the regime if talks falter. <\/p>\n
‘I think we’re going to make a deal with Iran,’ he told Time magazine in an interview published Friday, while claiming that President Joe Biden had allowed Iran to ‘become rich.’ <\/p>\n
