An unconfirmed US proposal would allow Iran to retain uranium enrichment at 3.67% on its soil and provide for the release of 6 to 10 billion dollars in frozen assets. The offer would also include lifting the naval blockade and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iranian journalist Ali Gholhak.
Washington would reportedly allow Iran to maintain uranium enrichment at 3.67% on its territory, according to a US proposal disclosed by Iranian journalist Ali Gholhak and reported by the Zambian Observer. The plan would also provide for the dilution in Iran of 400 kilograms of material enriched to 60%.
The proposal would include the release of 6 to 10 billion dollars in frozen Iranian assets, the lifting of the US naval blockade and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, in exchange for Iran withdrawing from the fighting in Yemen and the return of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency, according to the Zambian Observer.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said a few days earlier that some Iranian demands remained unacceptable and that no major breakthrough was imminent, reports the Zambian Observer. US officials have not confirmed the contents of the disclosed proposal.
The reported proposal would abandon previous US demands for Iran to completely give up enrichment and remove its highly enriched stockpiles, according to the Zambian Observer. The outlet says messages from Iranian supporters have also called for any agreement to compel Israel to leave southern Lebanon.
