WANA (Jun 01) – Saeed Ajorlu, a member of Iran’s negotiating team media unit, has outlined key details of the latest proposal submitted by the United States, stating that Washington has backed away from some of its initial demands regarding Iran’s nuclear program.

 

Speaking about the contents of the new proposal, Ajorlu said that two major issues are at the center of the discussions: the nuclear file and the Strait of Hormuz. According to him, the U.S. position on the nuclear issue has changed significantly compared to the early stages of the negotiations.

 

He noted that at the beginning of the talks, the United States demanded that Iran transfer its nuclear materials to U.S. territory, a request that Tehran firmly rejected.

 

Ajorlu added that subsequent proposals included transferring the materials to a third country, where they would eventually be disposed of or destroyed. However, these options were also rejected by Iran.

 

According to Ajorlu, the latest version of the U.S. proposal no longer refers to transferring or eliminating Iran’s nuclear materials. Instead, it uses broader terms such as “determining the status of the materials,” “the future of the materials,” or “resolving the issue of the materials.”

 

He stressed that Iran has accepted no commitment regarding the transfer or destruction of its nuclear stockpiles. Even if negotiations move forward, discussions about the future of these materials would be postponed to later stages of the process.

 

Addressing the Strait of Hormuz, Ajorlu said that differences between the two sides remain unresolved. He emphasized that Iran continues to insist that the strategic waterway should remain under Iranian management and authority.
