The United States has put forward a revised diplomatic proposal to Iran that would allow the Islamic Republic to continue enriching uranium at low levels for a limited timeframe, according to a report by Axios journalist Barak Ravid.
The offer, which was reportedly presented on Saturday by the Trump administration, signals a departure from its prior hardline stance in nuclear talks.
In earlier negotiations, Washington had insisted that Tehran completely halt its uranium enrichment activities as a non-negotiable condition of any deal aimed at preventing it from developing nuclear weapons. Iran, however, has consistently rejected any such demand. The newly floated plan would defer the enrichment ban, allowing Iran to maintain limited enrichment for an interim period.
The exact parameters of the arrangement—specifically the level of enrichment allowed and the duration of the temporary window—have not been disclosed.
As part of the updated framework, Iran would be expected to refrain from constructing additional enrichment sites and to begin dismantling some of its existing uranium facilities.
The White House did not dispute the Axios report. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told the outlet, “President Trump has made it clear that Iran can never obtain a nuclear bomb. Special Envoy Witkoff has sent a detailed and acceptable proposal to the Iranian regime, and it’s in their best interest to accept it. Out of respect for the ongoing deal, the Administration will not comment on details of the proposal to the media.”
Despite the report’s claims, Trump issued a statement later that seemed to reject the premise, writing on Truth Social: “The autopen should have stopped Iran a long time ago from ‘enriching.’ Under our potential Agreement, we will not allow any enrichment of uranium!”
