Iran to Submit Counter-Proposal to U.S. in Nuclear Negotiations

 

Iran to Submit Counter-Proposal to U.S. in Nuclear Negotiations Iran announced it will soon submit a counter-proposal to the United States through Oman, rejecting the U.S. offer made in late May, which Tehran considers "unacceptable." Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei stated that the proposed deal failed to address key issues such as uranium enrichment, the shipment of Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium abroad, and the lifting of U.S. sanctions. Baghaei emphasized that Iran's response will be reasonable, logical, and balanced once finalized. He also noted that there is no confirmed date yet for a sixth round of nuclear talks between Iran and the U.S.

Last week, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei dismissed the U.S. proposal as against Iran's national interests and reaffirmed Iran's continued enrichment efforts. The collapse of the 2015 nuclear deal in 2018 under U.S. President Donald Trump led to increased enrichment levels and severe economic sanctions on Iran.
