The clock is marking the American nuclear proposal to Iran, while Israel reflects military blows

The clock is marking the proposal of President Trump to Iran to accept restrictions on his nuclear program, and possibly avoid a potential Military strike By Israel, which could involve support.

The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, spoke with Trump on Monday regarding diplomatic efforts and publicly announced that Trump had told him that he would be expected to respond in the next few days.

Meanwhile, Steve Witkoff, the president’s middle eastern envoy, plans to hold a sixth round of conversations with Iran Sunday. These conversations will be held in the small state of the Gulf of Oman, according to a source familiar with the plans.

American and Israeli officials confirmed that diplomatic efforts are still underway, although multiple US officials say they believe Israel can be preparing an imminent military strike against Iran.

A journalist asked the president on Thursday if an Israeli strike against Iran is imminent. “Well, I don’t want to say imminent, but it seems that it could happen,” he said.

On Thursday, the United Nations Vienna nuclear control agency, the International Atomic Energy Agency, declared that Iran is Do not comply with nuclear non -proliferation obligations. They will quickly condemn the finding as politically motivated.

Iranian Foreign Minister, Seyed Abbas Araghchi, in a position on X, accused the United Kingdom, France and Germany, the three main European powers known collectively as the E3, of promoting confrontation. The E3 remains part of the 2015 International Nuclear Agreement known as JCPOA. USA. withdraw Of the agreement in 2018 and Iran partially It was withdrawn in 2019. European countries that remain part of the agreement could seek to trigger the UN snapback of the UN sanctions against Iran in the coming months.

“Another important strategic error of the E3 will force Iran to react strongly,” Araghchi said in the position.

After the determination of the OIEA that he did not comply, Iran announced that the head of his atomic energy organization issued orders for a new enrichment installation and the replacement of centrifuging in underground facilities in Fordow.

Trump publicly declared in Truth Social last week that he would not allow any uranium to enrich, but the White House has not so far revealed the content of the nuclear proposal.

Almost two weeks ago, Witkoff transmitted to Iran through Omani officials a proposal from the US. Two sources familiar with the details of that proposal told News themezone that the United States does not want to develop any domestic enrichment of nuclear fuel for what it states is a civil program. To maintain that limited program, the two sources said Iran would have to acquire the nuclear fuel enriched from outside the country, instead of enriching it on the Iranian soil.

Mr. Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed They will go last Wednesday during a long call that lasted more than an hour, according to Mr. Trump’s publication about Truth Truth Social. Trump said time is being exhausted in Iran’s decision -making on nuclear weapons.

He said that Putin “suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran” and that it could be useful for concluding the conversations. Tehran and Moscow have forged an informal military alliance in Ukraine, with Russian forces that use Shahed drones produced by Iran to bomb Ukrainian objectives, including civilians.

Moscow could perform some roles in negotiations with Iran, a source familiar with the proposal explained to News themezone. Russia could be a source for the purchase of nuclear fuel by Iran, for example, or it could also be the recipient country for the storage of the existing enriched uranium produced by Iran. This would be similar to the role he played under the 2015 International Nuclear Agreement known as JCPOA.

There are also other ideas proposed by the United States as well. Axios was the first to inform that Oman suggested to establish a regional consortium to enrich uranium for civil purposes under monitoring by the OIEA and the United States a source familiar with the proposal indicated that this was one of the ideas presented to Tehran.

During the testimony before a Senate panel on Wednesday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sent questions about diplomatic efforts.

“There are many indications that they have been moving towards something that looked a lot like a nuclear weapon,” Hegseth said in response to a question about whether Tehran’s nuclear program was Pacific. The powerful president of the United States Senate Intelligence Committee, Republican Senator Tom Cotton de Arkansas, seemed to take advantage of that statement in a publication on social networks in which he said: “Iran’s terrorist regime is actively working towards a nuclear weapon.”

But American intelligence evaluates that they will stop their nuclear weapons program in 2003. American intelligence has also evaluated that Tehran has continued since 2018 to enrich nuclear fuel at levels close to the degree of weapons. Due to this enrichment, the intelligence of the United States evaluates that Iran is currently a threshold nuclear state, which means that it could decide to find a relatively short -term weapons program.

The Israeli prime minister, Netanyahu, has long been a skeptic of diplomatic attempts to restrict Iran’s nuclear program and, often, points to documents stolen by the Mossad in 2018 as evidence of the Iranian ambition past to acquire its own nuclear weapon. Netanyahu has been pressing Mr. Trump to provide American support to Israeli military action against Iran, arguing that Tehran is in a historically weak position, given the success of the Israeli decapitation of his Hezbollah militia and his decimation of Hamas In Gaza.

Although Trump has remained in the sanction of Russia, what the administration has said is to interrupt the diplomatic scope in Ukraine, has sanctioned Iran in the midst of an attempt to diplomacy with respect to the nuclear program.

Last Friday, the Treasury Department announced sanctions against 30 people linked to two Iranian brothers who allegedly helped wash billions of dollars through front companies that the regime uses to help finance their nuclear and missile programs.

News themezone obtained a classified version of a report presented to the Member States by the general director of the OIEA Rafael Grossi. The report indicates that Iran is the only state of non -nuclear weapon in the world that produces and accumulates 60%enriched uranium, which remains a great concern. Uranium for civil use is enriched at a much lower rate, between 3% and 5%.

Mark Dubowitz, of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies based in the United States, told News themezone that the report showed that “Iran is a serial offender of the series of the [Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty]Stonewalling the OIEA in its past, and possibly continuous, nuclear weapons work. “

Dubowitz and other defenders of Pro-Israel are increasing alarms and argue that the Iranian regime should not have any right to enrich uranium in its soil.

The general director of the OIEA also reiterated in his report his call so that I will cooperate with the inspections of the OIEA, or risk “the agency will not be able to ensure that Iran’s nuclear program is exclusively peaceful.”

Israel has an unst declared nuclear weapons program, and the OIEA does not have access to its installation in Dimona, which is believed to provide the fuel for its weapons program. The OIEA monitors the site known as SOREQ. At this point, Israel maintains a strategic advantage as the only nuclear energy in the Middle East.
