Exclusive — Steve Witkoff Ahead of Round 4 of Talks: Iran Has Agreed ‘They Don’t Want’ Nuclear Weapon
Breitbart ^ | 9 May 2025 | MATTHEW BOYLE

Posted on 05/09/2025 2:56:08 PM PDT by Mr. Mojo

WASHINGTON — Senior adviser and assistant to the president Steve Witkoff told Breitbart News exclusively that the government of Iran has told him that the Iranians have agreed they do not want a nuclear weapon.

Witkoff, who made the explosive revelation in an exclusive long-form on-camera interview with Breitbart News on Thursday at the White House, is leading negotiations for President Donald Trump with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Witkoff is expected to meet with the Iranians, possibly as soon as this weekend, for a fourth round of talks in Oman, after two previous discussions in Iran and another in Rome. Witkoff will be meeting with them during a broader trip to the Middle East this upcoming week, where President Trump is expected to visit Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Qatar. Witkoff is joining Trump for those legs of the trip, but breaking off on his own to meet with the Iranians separately in Oman at the president’s direction.

“We’ve stated our position. The Iranians cannot have a bomb. They have stated back that they don’t want one,” Witkoff told Breitbart News. “So we’re going to, for the purposes of this discussion, take them at their word that that’s actually how they feel. If that’s how they feel, then their enrichment facilities have to be dismantled. They cannot have centrifuges.

Probably correct. They want A LOT of nuclear weapons.

Not what I want expected to read. And if they have centrifuges? Then then what? Of course they will have them but we won’t know about them until they test their first nuke.

They don’t need nuke energy either except to make uranium for enrichment.

They really don’t need one. Islamic jihad has made tremendous gains worldwide since 9-11-2001. The sun never sets on the barbaric, Islamic empire. Civilization shrugs.

When Mr. Haney assured Oliver Wendell Douglas of his schemes being something to trust on Green Acres, did he always believe him?

Iranians, if Muslim believers, don’t have to refrain from “lying to infidels and hypocrites” any more than other Muslims do. Especially if the lives of Muslims are at stake in a dealing with the infidels.

The vast majority of Iranians are Shi’ite Muslims (Ithnā ʿAsharī, or Twelvers) which is the official state religion. The Kurds and Turkmen are predominantly Sunni Muslims. Minorities of Iranians are Zoroastrians and a handful are Christians or Jews. Christians are between 117,000 and a million-—with no official records agreed upon. Probably 300,000 Armenians, Assyrians and Chaldeans account for the Christian population. Jews are 0.01% at 8,300 in 2019 census.

People, heads up.

99% of nuclear warheads today are plutonium. Not U235. There is no centrifuge used for plutonium. You get it from spent fuel rods of power reactors, which the Iranians do have.

"They have stated back that they don’t want one."

Steve, let me suggest you learn about taqiyya.

If they really wanted nuclear weapons wouldn’t they have them by now? Netanyahu has been screaming they’re “only weeks away” from getting them for over a decade now.

If we were to keep threatening long enough and hard enough that we’re going to bomb them to smithereens, and they think we really mean it this time, they’ll have one pronto, though.

The best thing we can do now is a New and Improved JCPOA. All those clamoring for war with Iran will disagree, of course.
