The US Nuclear Deal Proposal to Iran has reopened tense diplomatic channels between Washington and Tehran. The White House confirmed it had delivered a new deal through special envoy Steve Witkoff.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated Oman relayed elements of the offer during a diplomatic stop in Tehran. The visit came as global concern surged following a new report by the UN nuclear watchdog.
That report, released by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), warned Iran had amassed over 400kg of uranium enriched to 60%. This is alarmingly close to weapons-grade level, which begins at 90% purity.
This amount, if further refined, could produce material for approximately ten nuclear weapons. Iran remains the only non-nuclear-armed country producing uranium at such levels.
In response, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt urged Iran to accept the offer, calling it “in Tehran’s best interest.” She also emphasized President Trump’s firm stance: Iran must never acquire a nuclear bomb.
The US Nuclear Deal Proposal to Iran follows months of talks mediated by Oman, dating back to April. Though the two countries have expressed cautious optimism, deep divisions remain.
A core dispute centers on Iran’s enrichment rights under a future deal. US officials insist on strict limits, while Iran continues enrichment at an accelerated pace.
The IAEA noted that Iran has produced enriched uranium fast enough to build a bomb in mere months. Reports suggest the pace is now roughly one bomb’s worth of enriched uranium every month.
Meanwhile, Iran has denied intentions to develop nuclear weapons. However, the IAEA says it cannot verify Iran’s claims. Tehran has barred senior inspectors and ignored longstanding questions about its nuclear history.
On Saturday, Iranian state media labeled the IAEA’s findings as “politically motivated” and “baseless.” Iran warned it would take appropriate measures if confronted at the next IAEA Board meeting.
Trump’s renewed diplomatic push echoes his criticism of the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). He withdrew the US from that deal in 2018, arguing it lacked permanence and failed to address missiles.
The US Nuclear Deal Proposal to Iran aims to restart dialogue while confronting a rapidly evolving nuclear challenge. Trump has even threatened military action if diplomacy breaks down again.
Despite rising tension, both sides remain engaged in indirect communication. However, time is running out, as Iran’s nuclear advancement continues unchecked.
