The United States sent Iran a proposal for a nuclear agreement between Tehran and Washington, the White House confirmed on Saturday.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that during a short visit in the Iranian capital “elements of a US contract” presented him from his Omani counterpart Bad Albusaidi.
It comes after that A report by the UN Nuclear Watchdog said Iran had further reinforced its production of enriched uranium, a key component in the production of nuclear weapons.
The press spokesman for the White House, Karoline Leavitt, said on Saturday that it was “the best interest in accepting the deal in Tehran’s” and added: “President Trump has made it clear that Iran can never get an atomic bomb”.
Leavitt said a “detailed and acceptable” proposal was sent to Iran by the special representative Steve Witkoff by US President Donald Trump.
The US proposal “is reacted appropriately in accordance with the principles, national interests and rights of Iran,” wrote Araghchi about X.
The exact details of the deal are not yet clear.
The proposal follows a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEO) – which was seen by the BBC – in which Iran now has over 400 kg uranium of 60% purity – near the 90% purity required for uranium of weapons.
This is far above the degree of purity that is sufficient for civilian nuclear power and research purposes.
It is sufficient for about 10 nuclear weapons if it is further refined, which makes Iran the only core state that produces uranium at this level.
The report paves the way for the USA, Great Britain, France and Germany to urge the IAEO governor council to find Iran under violating its non -expansion obligations.
Iran insists that his program is peaceful. On Saturday, the IAEO report described the IAEO report as “politically motivated”, which contained “unfounded allegations”.
Iran has explained that it would “carry out suitable measures” to take measures against Tehran at the IAEO Governers’ meeting against Tehran.
The United States has long tried to limit Iran’s nuclear capacity. The talks between the two powers conveyed by Oman have been in progress since April.
Both sides have expressed optimistically in the course of the conversations, but remain divided through important questions – boss among them whether Iran can continue the enrichment as part of a future agreement.
Despite the ongoing negotiations between Tehran and Washington, the IAEO report made no indication that Iran slowed its efforts to enrich nuclear realms.
Iran has produced a highly enriched uranium at a speed per month in the past three months in the past three months, according to the IAEO report.
US officials estimate that Iran, if he chooses a weapon, can produce weapon material in less than two weeks and possibly build a bomb within months.
Iran has long denied that he was trying to develop nuclear weapons. However, the IAEO said that it could not confirm whether this was still the case because Iran refuses to grant senior inspectors and not answer long -term questions about nuclear history.
Trump is looking for a new nuclear deal with Tehran after pulling out the United States from an earlier nuclear deal between Iran and six world powers in 2018.
This nuclear agreement, which is known as a common comprehensive action plan or JCPOA, was signed in 2015 by Iran and the USA, China, France, Russia, Germany and Great Britain.
The JCPOA tried to limit and monitor the nuclear program of Iran to lift sanctions that were placed in the regime in 2010 because the nuclear program was used to develop a bomb.
But Donald Trump retired from the deal during his first term and claimed that JCPoa was a “bad deal” because it was not permanent and, among other things, did not affect the Iranian ballistic rocket program.
Trump then imposed US sanctions as part of a “maximum pressure” campaign to force Iran to negotiate a new and expanded agreement.
In the years in between, Tehran steadily exceeded the limits of the 2015 agreement for his nuclear program to make it more difficult to develop an atomic bomb.
Trump previously threatened to bomb the nuclear institutions of Iran if diplomacy does not achieve a deal.
