BREAKING: Iran Makes Massive Nuclear Concession

Published

on

Iran has reportedly offered to stop enriching uranium as President Donald Trump presses Tehran for nuclear commitments before granting broader economic relief.

Saudi broadcaster Al Hadath reported Monday that Iran had agreed to halt enrichment in return for eased U.S. sanctions, citing sources familiar with the matter. The reported concession comes with the two sides still at odds over the terms of a potential deal and who must act first.

Washington wants firm commitments on Iran’s nuclear program. Trump is prepared to offer sanctions relief and access to frozen Iranian funds if Tehran takes concrete nuclear steps, according to weekend reports.

Qatar and Pakistan are working to bring the sides back to the negotiating table.

A U.S. official described the indirect discussions as “positive and constructive” and said Tehran had shown flexibility on nuclear matters, according to Moneycontrol’s account of Axios’ reporting. Significant disagreements remained.

Qatari mediators have also discussed the proposal with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi in New York.

The reported enrichment offer follows another proposal involving Iran’s existing uranium supply. The National reported last week that Tehran had offered to send its stockpile enriched to 60% to a third party under a seven-day plan aimed at resolving the Strait of Hormuz standoff.

Araghchi discussed the proposal during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

That proposal called for diluting the uranium before moving it out of Iran under mechanisms recognized by the International Atomic Energy Agency.

The offers remain part of negotiations over a broader agreement. Monday’s report did not establish that Washington and Tehran had finalized a deal.
