Iran’s proposed nuclear deal includes reduction of enrichment

An Arab diplomat has revealed that Iran has presented a proposed draft agreement to the United States regarding its nuclear program, according to Israeli media reports.

Speaking to Israeli media, the diplomat said the draft submitted by Tehran proposes reducing uranium enrichment levels from 60 percent to 3.6 percent — a level consistent with civilian nuclear energy use.

The diplomat further disclosed that Iran has offered to suspend uranium enrichment activities for seven years as part of the proposed framework.

Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, has arrived in Geneva for talks related to ongoing US-Iran nuclear negotiations.

Israeli media also claimed that Washington is not currently demanding zero uranium enrichment from Iran.

Instead, the United States is reportedly seeking the transfer of Iran’s existing stockpile of highly enriched uranium abroad. However, Tehran has refused to move its highly enriched uranium outside the country.

According to the reports, Iran has offered to dilute its highly enriched uranium stockpile, while the US is pushing for a 10-year suspension of Iran’s nuclear program. Analysts cited by Israeli media suggest that Tehran’s proposal is unlikely to fully satisfy American demands.

Israeli media further warned that the likelihood of a US military strike on Iran in the near term has increased amid stalled negotiations.
