Summary

Story summary

U.S. officials say negotiations have narrowed to a 15-year compromise on Iran’s uranium enrichment suspension.
A June 7 IAEA draft resolution demands Iran detail bombed sites, disclose 60 % enriched uranium and permit unrestricted inspections.
The agreement would dilute Iran’s 60 % enriched uranium, retain it in-country and dismantle Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan facilities.
Iran refuses the proposal, seeking sanctions relief and frozen-asset release, which President Donald Trump has rejected.

History

Historical Context

On 14 July 2015 the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, signed by Iran, the United States, the P5+1 and the EU, capped enrichment at 3.67% and cut Iran’s enriched stockpile by 98% to 300 kg for fifteen years. The deal lifted sanctions, freeing billions. Today U.S. talks propose a 15-year framework to further limit Iran’s enrichment while Tehran demands asset releases, recalling the 2015 impasse.
