Iran on brink of rejecting US proposal on nuclear programme
Briefly

Iran appears ready to dismiss US proposals regarding its nuclear program, primarily because the US draft demands the suspension of uranium enrichment without offering a clear path for lifting economic sanctions. This proposal, communicated by Oman during recent talks, marks a significant moment in the ongoing diplomatic discussions, but Iranian sources indicate dissatisfaction with the terms. A complete breakdown could lead to severe international consequences, prompting Iran to consider a measured response to keep negotiations alive and explore compromises on uranium enrichment.
Faced by such a catastrophe, Iran is likely to temper its response to the US plans so that further talks are possible.
The best compromise available would be a US statement that Iran in principle is permitted to enrich uranium but in practice will not do so.
