* Introduction to the NBN news bulletin: “Decisive” is the most common expression used to describe the third round of negotiations between the United States and Iran, the focus of which is the nuclear address and its guest Al-Mawakib, the Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency. The round began in Geneva amidst the world holding its breath in anticipation of the results of the talks that will resume this evening after the daytime session is adjourned for further consultation. Will the diplomatic option or the military option prevail? It is true that the threat of war against the Islamic Republic has not stopped, but positions have emerged during the last hours. American and Iranian are more inclined to give priority to the diplomatic language, while the Omani mediator spoke today about a positive atmosphere, openness, and innovative solutions. Despite expressing his willingness to use force, US President Donald Trump announced that he prefers diplomatic means. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian responded to the American greeting in a better way, as he saw that there are promising and good prospects for indirect negotiations. In a deeply meaningful message, he said: When the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic issues a fatwa prohibiting nuclear weapons, this clearly means that Tehran will not manufacture nuclear weapons. Lebanon, for its part, finds itself concerned with enriching the process of monitoring the Iranian-American negotiations. In his diary, a Council of Ministers session in the Government Serail, the agenda of which is the completion of research into activating revenue collection and the forensic audit process in a number of ministries and departments. Regarding the parliamentary electoral issue, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nabih Berri, once again affirmed his firm position. In response to a question from Al-Jumhuriya newspaper, he answered: I said, and I reiterate, that the elections are on time on time. The President of the Council referred the general amnesty law proposal to the joint committees, while a decree was issued calling the House of Representatives to an extraordinary session from the second of March to the sixteenth of that month. =======Introduction to “MTV” The American delegation sat at the Geneva table, waving to the Iranian delegation two proposals, the most bitter: the first proposal that the United States receive all of Iran’s enriched uranium, and the second that Tehran restrict enrichment and destroy its sites. The three nuclear. This American nuclear strictness in this third round of negotiations was only the beginning, as US Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced that if progress is not made in the nuclear program, it will be difficult to achieve progress in the ballistic missile file as well. This means that the negotiations will fail if the American delegation does not make clear Iranian concessions and things will reach a dead end. Tehran, for its part, tried to put forward new ideas and strived to link any agreement to the separation of nuclear and non-nuclear issues. In this atmosphere, the pre-noon round ended, and forty-five minutes ago the evening round began, which was described as the last opportunity. Are we facing a historic agreement, a regional earthquake, or another scenario that will surprise everyone? All of this comes in conjunction with the increase in the pace of American military preparations. In the latest movements, the American aircraft carrier USS Gerald Ford left the Greek island of Crete, heading to the eastern Mediterranean. Locally, the wait is heavy and the anticipation is on two lines: regional and electoral. On the second line the Rams are raging. A remarkable position was recorded by President Nawaf Salam, who considered that the current election law guarantees the right of expatriates in their countries of residence to vote for the 128 representatives as long as the 16th district is suspended. He also winked at Speaker Berri’s channel, reminding him that the electoral laws since the days of Greater Lebanon distribute sectarian seats to electoral districts, and that this is a legislative issue par excellence. Starting in Geneva. Eyes on what the evening round will bring, with Iranian talk about providing all possible seriousness to reach an agreement if American intentions are clear. If the American arguments were the fear of militarization of the Iranian nuclear program, then the fatwa of Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei prohibiting the possession of a nuclear weapon is sufficient to provide reassurance, as the Secretary of the Supreme Defense Council, Admiral Ali Shamkhani, indicated. However, during the negotiations today, Tehran provided solid technical details regarding the peacefulness of its nuclear program and its readiness. To cooperate under the umbrella of its sovereign right to enrichment, within the hearing and sight of the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency present in the indirect Geneva negotiations. Immediately, the Iranians renewed the position that reaching a good agreement for all is possible if American intentions are clear, and the occupant of the White House is convinced that it is the Islamic Republic of Iran that does not submit under threat and that it, with its people, armies and leadership, is fully prepared to confront all scenarios. In Lebanon, all files are on the list of challenges, the most dangerous of which is related to escalation. The Zionist persistence, which today was represented by a series of raids on the outskirts of Shamstar, Budai, Nabi Sheth, and Harbata in the Bekaa, after a raid from a march on the Ali al-Taher area in Nabatieh. And in Naqoura yesterday, the Zionist persistence in striking what remained of the Mechanics Committee and its burned-out role, as the occupation representative was absent from the meeting, confirming his disdain for the committee and what it represents and who represents it, while the Lebanese authority insists on complying with every American demand out of motive. On the electoral site, there is a confirmation from the Minister of the Interior at the door of the Council of Ministers that the parliamentary elections will be held on time. As for the promises to correct taxes, the government did not decide on them in today’s session, which was devoted to searching for revenues. Stagnation or stabilization of the existing distance between the two parties. This round comes after two previous meetings that were characterized by caution and differences in positions, while the language of the last opportunity took precedence over the others in light of the complexities of the nuclear file and the intertwining of regional accounts. The Iranian delegation, headed by the Foreign Minister, entered the talks adhering to what he described as his country’s nuclear rights, and on the condition of an actual and deliberate lifting of economic sanctions, with guarantees that prevent any future withdrawal from any possible understanding. On the other hand, there is a confirmation from Washington that any agreement must include strict verification mechanisms, control of enrichment levels, and clear answers regarding outstanding issues. The negotiations, which are taking place under Omani sponsorship, are making their way amid a delicate regional atmosphere in which several areas of the Middle East overlap, where fears are rising of an uncalculated slide if diplomatic efforts fail. The parties realize that any progress, even gradual, may reflect calm in more than one file, while stumbling may reshuffle the cards and increase the level of escalation. The third round also carries with it internal stakes for both parties; In Tehran, negotiation is linked to economic pressure and the expectations of the street, while in Washington, the negotiating path is linked to complex political and legislative calculations. Between this and that, the question remains: Do the Geneva meetings constitute a preliminary step for an interim agreement that opens the door to a broader understanding, or is it a new station in a long negotiation path governed by mutual conditions and lack of trust? What if the whole process fails and we enter the unknown? In Lebanon, everyone is closely following these developments, given their potential repercussions on the internal scene and the upcoming constitutional dues, most notably the parliamentary elections. Today, the Prime Minister threw the ball of electoral eligibility into the court of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, announcing, on the first anniversary of his government gaining confidence, that the election will take place in accordance with the applicable law, and on the basis of expatriates’ voting for the interior representatives, unless the House of Representatives decides otherwise. And Shamstar, Budai, and Jarud Harbta. Retired Israeli army spokesman Avichai Adraee tweeted that the IDF attacked infrastructure belonging to the Radwan unit in the Baalbek area. Before the Lebanese preoccupation with the raids, Lebanon and the world were preoccupied with the third round of US-Iranian talks at the Omani embassy in Geneva. According to what was reported by the Iranian side, Iranian and American negotiators exchanged “constructive and positive ideas” during the first part of the third round of talks. A high-ranking Iranian official told Reuters that the United States and Iran may reach a framework for a nuclear agreement if Washington separates “nuclear and non-nuclear issues,” adding that remaining differences must be narrowed. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, explained that the negotiations were intense and serious. The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said that Tehran’s right to possess nuclear energy for peaceful purposes must be recognized and the sanctions imposed on it must be lifted. Returning to Lebanon, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam, on the anniversary of his government gaining confidence, considered that “since the establishment of Greater Lebanon until today, election laws have determined the distribution of sectarian seats among electoral districts, not decrees, as this is a legislative issue par excellence.” He continued: “Let the electoral bodies and the current electoral law guarantee the right of expatriates to vote in their countries of residence to elect the 128 representatives as long as the 16th district is still pending, awaiting clarification from the Council.” Did President Salam deliberately “link the dispute” with the Speaker of the Council? Or a supposed settlement. Today, attention has turned to the Swiss city, which has always been a scene for major settlements. There, among the diplomatic papers and protocol smiles, the balance of tension between the United States and Iran is being tested again in a round described as pivotal and does not tolerate many maneuvers, so that the world remains on a date with a new test: either a negotiating path that revives diplomacy and establishes a less inflammatory phase, or another round of stagnation that may open the door to further escalation. Between cautious optimism and realistic pessimism, the world remains in a state of waiting until Geneva has its say. Inspired by the escalation prevailing in the region, the former head of the Progressive Socialist Party, Walid Jumblatt, spoke today, warning against the middle of March, and in his style playing with the ropes of political realism. Expressive sarcasm is a warning about the date of the fifteenth of March, a day in the ancient Roman calendar traditionally associated with misfortune and inevitable fate. The inevitable fate of March appeared in the opening of an exceptional session for the House of Representatives that begins on the second of March and extends until the sixteenth of it, which opens the door to multiple scenarios. Shuffling the cards in connection with the elections leaves the range of legislative options open to all possibilities, from amendment to extension. As the announced positions on the intention to implement the entitlement rise, on the other hand, the behind-the-scenes analyzes about the inevitability of the extension rise, coupled with a series of excuses and exits ready to be detailed according to the stage. In the electoral context, and as part of his appearance on the anniversary of the one-year anniversary of his government gaining confidence, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam put the ball in the court of the House of Representatives, saying: There are elections, and we have invited the electoral bodies, and as long as the House does not clarify the issue of the sixteenth district until further notice, the expatriates will vote for the representatives in the place of their registration, that is, for the hundred and twenty-eighth, and the House will be kind enough to “tell us what we will do” > “and no one will belittle me if I have fulfilled my duties.” No Lebanese day ends without an Israeli attack. The Bekaa was subject to twenty-five raids in a dangerous escalation that raises question marks about the next stage in which the files are interconnected to the rhythm of the negotiations and the possibilities fluctuate between an open war with all options or a settlement that places points of calm on the letters of the region.
