WANA (May 30) – Recent claims suggesting that Iran and the United States have reached an interim agreement are false.

 

According to informed sources, no such “interim deal” has been proposed by either side so far.

 

The date and location of the next round of nuclear talks — which are being mediated by Oman — have yet to be determined, and no official proposal has been made.

 

One news agency had claimed that Iran and the U.S. were close to a deal in which Iran would halt uranium enrichment for one year, in exchange for the release of its frozen assets by the U.S.

 

Enrichment inside Iran has become a central sticking point in negotiations. Iran insists on continuing low-level enrichment on its own soil, while the U.S. demands a complete halt.

 

The ongoing nuclear talks, brokered by Oman, began several weeks ago and have so far included five rounds — held in Muscat, Oman, and Rome, Italy. Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is leading the Iranian delegation, while U.S. negotiator Abram Paley Witkoff is heading the American team.

 

Based on available assessments, the reported claim of an interim deal is inaccurate and unfounded.
