Overview

  • Iran’s foreign ministry says it will soon submit a counterproposal to the US nuclear offer through Oman after finding ambiguities in the May draft.
  • Tehran asserts the US plan fails to address the lifting of US sanctions, calling the proposal unbalanced and unacceptable.
  • Behrouz Kamalvandi warned that Iran would scale back its broad and friendly cooperation with the IAEA if the board approves a resolution finding it noncompliant.
  • The IAEA’s latest report criticizes Tehran for inadequate responses to questions and notes Iran’s stockpile of 408.6 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60 percent.
  • Dates for a sixth round of indirect talks remain unclear, with Washington referencing June 12 and Tehran pointing to a June 15 session in Muscat.
