Tehran is doubling down on its nuclear negotiation stance, revealing it has received no new proposals from Washington to resolve the decades-long dispute. A senior Iranian official told Reuters that lifting U.S. sanctions “verifiably and effectively” is the non-negotiable condition for Iran to export its highly enriched uranium—a key sticking point in talks. 🌍
“We will only consider shipping our enriched uranium out of the country if U.S. sanctions are lifted verifiably and effectively,” the official stated.
Why does this matter? Sanctions have crippled Iran's economy since 2018, while uranium enrichment levels now surpass those allowed under the scrapped 2015 nuclear deal (JCPOA). Analysts say trust is at an all-time low, with both sides locked in a diplomatic stalemate ⏳.
Tehran's latest remarks come weeks after indirect negotiations stalled, leaving global powers wondering if a breakthrough is possible before 2024 elections reshape geopolitical priorities. 🔍 Will Biden’s admin sweeten the deal? For now, the ball’s in Washington’s court.
