Iran Poised to Reject US Nuclear Deal Proposal, Citing “One-Sided” Terms

Iran is preparing to reject a recent US proposal aimed at resolving its decades-long nuclear dispute, calling the offer a “non-starter,” according to a senior Iranian diplomat close to Tehran’s negotiating team.

The proposal, delivered via Omani mediation, reportedly fails to address Iran’s core demands regarding uranium enrichment rights and sanctions relief.

US President Donald Trump’s administration presented the proposal after five rounds of indirect talks between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and US envoy Steve Witkoff.

The US reportedly insisted that Iran abandon domestic enrichment and export its highly enriched uranium stockpile, both of which Tehran flatly refuses.
