Overview

• Putin has privately urged Tehran to agree to a nuclear deal that prohibits uranium enrichment, a stance he communicated to Iranian officials and shared with President Trump, President Macron and Israel.
• Iran’s Tasnim news agency denied any knowledge of a Russian message proposing a zero-enrichment arrangement.
• Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran remains ready to resume US-mediated nuclear talks if it secures guarantees against future military strikes.
• President Trump has made a total ban on Iran’s uranium enrichment a non-negotiable condition for any new agreement.
• Russia’s reversal from publicly supporting Iran’s enrichment rights follows recent Israeli and US strikes that damaged Iranian nuclear sites and led Tehran to suspend IAEA cooperation.
