Washington Considers Amended Iranian Proposal "Insufficient," Warns of Escalation

Informed US sources have indicated that the administration in Washington views the amended Iranian proposal regarding its nuclear program as insufficient and lacking the substantial improvements needed to reach a comprehensive agreement. According to officials, the new version, delivered through intermediary diplomatic channels, was limited to minor cosmetic changes. It lacked detailed commitments on suspending uranium enrichment or addressing current stockpiles, relying instead on general statements about not seeking a nuclear weapon. In a related context, Washington denied reports suggesting it had agreed to ease oil sanctions, emphasizing that any sanctions relief requires concrete steps from Tehran. US sources warned of the gravity of the current situation, noting that if Iran fails to respond and offer genuine concessions at a serious negotiating table, the diplomatic track could pivot to military options. Meanwhile, leaks suggest Tehran has demanded multiple international guarantees and alternative economic facilities in lieu of reparations, while insisting on transferring enriched uranium to Russia. The US administration is expected to hold high-level security meetings to discuss available options, including military action, amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis.
