Overview

• Reports on June 27 suggested the U.S. considered offering up to $30 billion in frozen assets and civilian nuclear assistance to persuade Iran to halt uranium enrichment.
• President Trump labeled the reports a “hoax” on Truth Social late on June 28, rejecting any plan to finance Iran’s civilian nuclear program.
• Such a package would have reversed Trump’s 2018 withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and reinstatement of sanctions against Iran.
• Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei proclaimed victory over recent U.S. airstrikes and reaffirmed Iran’s sovereign right to uranium enrichment.
• Oman-mediated indirect talks between the U.S. and Iran continue without resolution on economic incentives or verification protocols.
