The Voice News:The United States has sent a nuclear deal proposal to Iran through Oman. According to the U.S., accepting the deal would be in Iran’s best interest.
However, the specific terms of the deal have not yet been disclosed. This information was reported by the British news outlet BBC on Sunday (June 1).
According to the report, the White House confirmed on Saturday that the U.S. had proposed a new nuclear deal to Iran. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that Omani Foreign Minister Badr Al-Busaidi recently visited Tehran and handed over some “key elements” of the U.S. proposal.
This proposal comes at a time when the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN’s nuclear watchdog, reported that Iran has once again increased its production of enriched uranium—an alarming step toward developing nuclear weapons.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said, “It is in Iran’s best interest to accept the deal.” She further added, “President Trump has made it clear that Iran will never be allowed to develop a nuclear bomb.”
According to the BBC, the proposal was sent to Tehran by Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s special envoy. Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi wrote on X (formerly Twitter), “We will respond to this proposal based on our national interests and the rights of our people.”
The exact terms of the deal have yet to be revealed. However, the matter came to light shortly after an IAEA report stated that Iran currently possesses over 400 kg of 60% enriched uranium—very close to the 90% enrichment level required to make nuclear weapons.
Experts believe this amount of enriched uranium could be enough to produce up to 10 nuclear weapons if further refined. Iran is currently the only country producing uranium at such high levels without possessing nuclear weapons.
In response, the United States, United Kingdom, France, and Germany are preparing to declare Iran in violation of the nuclear agreement at the IAEA board. Iran, on the other hand, has rejected the accusations as “politically motivated” and “baseless,” warning that if the board takes action against it, there will be an “appropriate response.”
The U.S. has long been trying to curb Iran’s nuclear capabilities. Since April of this year, behind-the-scenes talks between Washington and Tehran have been ongoing, with Oman acting as a mediator.
While both sides remain hopeful about the negotiations, the core dispute centers on Iran’s right to continue uranium enrichment. According to the latest IAEA report, for the past three months, Iran has been enriching enough uranium each month to build at least one nuclear bomb.
Multiple U.S. sources claim Iran could produce weapons-grade uranium in less than two weeks and could potentially build a nuclear bomb within a few months. However, Iran maintains that its nuclear program is entirely peaceful.
