Overview

  • Tehran said it will submit its own nuclear deal proposal through Oman, accusing the US draft of omitting key elements and failing to guarantee sanctions relief
  • President Trump has scheduled another round of indirect talks with Iran this week in Oman, with US officials suggesting meetings as early as Thursday or over the weekend
  • The US draft offers limited low-level uranium enrichment, a measure Iran insists must include firm sanctions relief and recognition of its civilian rights
  • IAEA Director Rafael Grossi warned Israel that an attack on Iranian nuclear sites could strengthen Tehran’s resolve to pursue weapons-grade uranium and expressed ‘‘great concern’’ over its rapidly growing stockpiles
  • Iran’s national security council threatened to retaliate against Israeli facilities if its nuclear infrastructure comes under military attack
