Iran Submits New Nuclear Agreement Proposal to the United States Through Qatar; Tehran Conditions All Negotiations on the Approval of Seven Demands While President Trump Weighs Renewed Military Strikes
TEHRAN : Iran has sent a fresh proposal for a nuclear deal to the United States via Qatar, in a major diplomatic move in the wake of rising tensions in the region.
The Iranian offer is being considered by US officials, reports Reuters international news agency. But Tehran has explicitly made it conditional for any formal diplomatic talks to be resumed to get Washington’s formal acceptance of seven strict pre-conditions.
The main elements of Iran’s new offer and the U.S. position.
Hardline Conditions: Tehran’s top security official Mohsen Rezaei declared seven “absolute conditions” for diplomacy with the U.S. Unless all the conditions are met by Washington, the strategic Strait of Hormuz will remain closed and no bilateral negotiations will be held, he said.
US Response and Military Threats: US President Donald Trump affirmed a decisive decision on renewed military action against Iran will be made soon, noting he wants to “not destroy” more in Iran, but “circumstances” may require his hand.
