Iran's Innovative Nuclear Deal Proposal: A Regional Approach
Tehran suggests a collaborative nuclear enrichment project with neighboring countries amid ongoing U.S. negotiations.
Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, discussed this initiative with U.S. special envoy, Steve Witkoff, during recent talks in Oman. This proposal seeks to create a consortium that would enable Iran to continue its civilian nuclear operations under stringent monitoring, countering Washington's demands for a complete dismantling of its nuclear infrastructure. Four Iranian officials, who requested anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the discussions, confirmed the details of the proposal.
The announcement sparked considerable media interest in Iran, with outlets like Farhikhtegan—affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards Corps—raising eyebrows about the implications of such a plan. It published editorial pieces questioning whether the proposal is an act of diplomatic service or a potential act of treachery.
While Iranian officials express optimism about the model, significant challenges remain. The feasibility of establishing a cohesive nuclear enrichment pact involving Iran and rivals like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates is uncertain. Compounded by 45 years of strained diplomatic relations between Iran and the U.S., uncertainty looms over U.S. corporate willingness to invest in Iran's nuclear sector.
As the situation evolves, the responses from the U.S. State Department and National Security Council remain awaited, leaving the future of this proposal and its implications in the balance.
