Iran Proposes Nuclear Deal to the US

Tehran may propose to Washington a temporary nuclear deal during the upcoming negotiations. In this way, Iran aims to avoid military escalation, which the US had threatened. This was reported by Axios.

The Iranian leadership is discussing this possibility against the backdrop of a two-month deadline set by former US President Donald Trump for negotiations on a new nuclear deal. Concurrently, the US leader has ordered an increase in American military forces in the Middle East as an alternative if diplomacy fails.

Western media sources have indicated that the Iranians believe reaching a complex and high-tech nuclear deal within two months is unrealistic. Therefore, Tehran seeks to gain more time to avoid escalation.
