President Trump surprised everyone by announcing direct talks with Iran about their nuclear program. These high-level meetings could happen soon, but experts warn Iran can’t be trusted. Conservative leaders Hillel Neuer and David Friedman say Iran only uses negotiations to buy time for building nuclear weapons.
Neuer, head of UN Watch, called Iran’s leaders “master manipulators” who pretend to negotiate while secretly advancing their goals. Friedman, former U.S. ambassador to Israel, agreed, saying past deals let Iran fund terrorism and expand its nuclear sites. Both urged Trump to walk away if Iran refuses to fully dismantle its program.
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu backed Trump’s tough approach, demanding Iran completely shut down its nuclear activities. He compared the situation to Libya giving up its weapons years ago. Netanyahu warned that half-measures only empower dictators, not protect peace.
The talks come as Trump repeats his “no nuclear weapons for Iran” stance. His administration insists any deal must prevent Iran from ever developing a bomb. Critics argue Iran has broken promises before and will do it again. Supporters say Trump’s pressure forced Iran to the table.
Military action remains possible if diplomacy fails. Netanyahu reportedly discussed strike plans with Trump, fearing Iran’s nuclear progress. Conservatives argue strength, not compromise, keeps America safe. They say weak deals embolden enemies like Iran.
Iran denies seeking nuclear weapons and calls U.S. demands unfair. Its leaders blame America for tensions, claiming sanctions hurt ordinary Iranians. Conservatives counter that Iran spends billions on proxies like Hamas instead of its people.
Friedman stressed that trusting Iran risks global security. He praised Trump for rebuilding alliances with Israel and Arab states to counter Tehran. Neuer added that the world must stand firm against regimes that chant “Death to America.”
The outcome hinges on whether Iran feels real pressure to change. Conservatives urge Trump to stay strong, reject bad deals, and protect U.S. interests first. They believe peace comes through strength, not empty promises from dangerous regimes.
