Critical negotiations US-Iran<\/b> with draft agreement<\/b> on money, uranium and nuclear program<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Negotiations<\/b> between the US<\/strong> and Iran<\/strong>, on a three-page draft agreement<\/b> that could lead to the termination of the crisis<\/b>, according to Axios<\/b>.<\/p>\n

A proposal is at the heart of the deals<\/b> that would see the release of up to 20 billion. dollars<\/strong> of committed Iranian funds<\/b>, in exchange<\/b> for the delivery of a stockpile<\/b> of enriched uranium<\/strong> by Tehran<\/b>.<\/p>\n

According to sources cited by Axios<\/b>, steady progress<\/strong> has been made, although significant differences remain, mainly around the scope of concessions and the duration of commitments.<\/p>\n

Key points under negotiation<\/h3>\n

The two sides are considering a complex framework of agreement including<\/b>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Release of Iranian funds (with the latest amount of 20 billion dollars) <\/li>\n
  • Delivery or partial transfer of enriched uranium to a third country <\/li>\n
  • Reduction of enrichment within Iran under international supervision <\/li>\n
  • “Voluntary” moratorium on uranium enrichment <\/li>\n
  • Maintaining only research nuclear reactors for medical purposes <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Parallel, all nuclear facilities are being considered to operate above ground<\/strong>, with underground facilities remaining out of service.<\/p>\n

    Disputes and possible points of compromise<\/h3>\n

    The key point remains the duration of the suspension of nuclear activities<\/b>:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • The US<\/b> is looking for a period of 20 years<\/strong> <\/li>\n
    • Iran<\/b> counters 5 years<\/strong> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      At the same time, Tehran is seeking waiver of sanctions<\/strong>, access to the global financial system and the ability to sell oil without restrictions.<\/p>\n

      Next steps and international dimension<\/h3>\n

      US President Donald Trump<\/strong> has said a new round of talks is imminent, possibly in Islamabad<\/strong>, with Pakistan<\/strong> playing a mediating role, with the support of Egypt<\/strong> and Turkey<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      Despite the progress, a US official noted that “Iran has taken a step, but it is not enough<\/b>,” stressing that negotiations remain fragile<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
