In a surprising diplomatic twist, Iran has proposed a joint nuclear enrichment venture involving the U.S. and Arab nations, according to a New York Times report. The plan was reportedly pitched by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi during back-channel talks in Oman as an alternative to President Trump’s demand to dismantle Iran’s entire nuclear program. While the U.S. envoy denied such a proposal was made, Tehran maintains uranium enrichment is non-negotiable. The talks come amid soaring tensions over Gaza, maritime attacks, and Iran’s growing uranium stockpile.
