An Iranian source has told RT that the US proposal for a new nuclear agreement is not a compromise.
According to the Iranian source, who has knowledge of the situation, the recent terms outlined by Washington in a letter to Iran, following five rounds of Omani-mediated discussions, are unacceptable.
The source stated that “Iran views the US written elements as extremely far from what could possibly be regarded as a fair and realistic basis for a likely compromise.”
The source also added that “Iranians were dismayed to see such a fanciful, one-sided text that is so out of touch with reality.”
The White House stated on Sunday that Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy, had sent Tehran “a detailed and acceptable proposal.” Karoline Leavitt, White House spokeswoman, reiterated Washington’s stance that “Iran can never obtain a nuclear bomb.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that Iran would respond “in line with the principles, national interests, and rights of the people of Iran.”
Trump had previously insisted on a “total dismantlement” of Iran’s nuclear program, suggesting the country should not be allowed to enrich uranium, even for civilian purposes. Araghchi rejected these terms, stating that the US must remove all sanctions and “uphold Iran’s nuclear rights, including enrichment.”
During his first term, Trump withdrew the US from the 2015 UN-backed nuclear deal, accusing Iran of secretly violating the agreement. He then reinstated sanctions as part of his “maximum pressure” campaign. Tehran denied breaching the 2015 deal at the time, but has since increased its uranium enrichment activities.
