Overview

  • Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei expressed skepticism about the nuclear talks, calling U.S. demands to end uranium enrichment 'nonsense' and reaffirming enrichment as non-negotiable.
  • The U.S. insists on a complete halt to Iran's enrichment capabilities, with Special Envoy Steve Witkoff describing it as a 'red line' necessary to prevent potential weaponization.
  • Iran has received a proposal for a fifth round of indirect talks but has not yet agreed to proceed, citing concerns over U.S. inconsistencies and 'illogical' demands.
  • President Donald Trump warned Iran to 'move quickly or something bad is going to happen,' while also claiming progress toward a potential deal during his recent Middle East trip.
  • Iran continues enriching uranium to 60%, well above the 3.67% limit set by the 2015 nuclear deal, while asserting its program is for peaceful purposes and within its sovereign rights.
