ISW….Iran Update, January 28, 2026
- US-Iran Nuclear Negotiations: The Iranian regime is very unlikely to accede to the United States’ demands regarding nuclear negotiations despite US pressure on the regime to agree to a nuclear deal. US President Donald Trump stated on January 28 that a “massive armada” is heading toward Iran and urged Iran to “make a deal,” warning that a potential US attack on Iran would be “far worse” than the United States’ attack on Iranian nuclear facilities in June 2025.
- Iranian Regime Security Forces: The Iranian regime has offered incentives for conscripts, possibly to try to increase the size of the Iranian armed forces amid reports of some security forces members’ disaffection with the regime’s brutal crackdown on the recent protests. The Law Enforcement Command’s (LEC) Public Service Organization announced on January 28 that it is reducing mandatory service time, allowing deployment delays, assigning recruits to units based on skill sets, and forgiving absences from mandatory service.
