Overview

• Iran proposed a year-long pause in uranium enrichment at 60% purity, with highly enriched stock to be shipped abroad or converted into civilian fuel plates.
• Tehran demands formal acknowledgment of its sovereign enrichment rights under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and access to $6 billion in oil revenues frozen overseas.
• A U.S. official confirmed Iran’s offer has not been formally tabled, with Washington cautious about lifting sanctions absent clear compliance steps.
• Any political understanding hinges on International Atomic Energy Agency verification of Iran’s nuclear activities to ensure meaningful transparency.
• The proposal follows five rounds of indirect talks and comes against a backdrop of heightened regional tensions and U.S. advisories for Israel to hold off on unilateral strikes.
