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.

(They want many).
“By ‘mutual agreement’!”
Probably correct. They want A LOT of nuclear weapons.
They mean they don’t want one dropped on them.
“They have stated back that they don’t want one…So we’re going to..:take them at their word… If that’s how they feel, then their enrichment facilities have to be dismantled. They cannot have centrifuges.”
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.
I got nothing against Witkoff personally he seems like a really nice man but he is WAY WAY out of his league..he is being played for a fool..yeah Iran doesn’t want to blow Israel up to smithereens sure they dont LOL..and they dont want to blow up America or as they call us “The Big Satan” as the demented corpse likes saying come on man
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.
This Witkoff is some kind of retard. Unbelievable.
They expect eventually to take over ours.
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.
Gee, if only we’d known that. Bless their heart!
Peace in our time gentlemen 2!
Thank you, Mr. Chamberlain.
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.
Steve, let me suggest you learn about taqiyya.
BS.
And I sell bridges
Okay. We will need to begin dismantling on Monday morning or the bombs start dropping at noon.
Delay is their game!!
Riiiiiight. 😁
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.
