President Trump reportedly plans to offer Iran a “last chance” to accept a nuclear deal amid Israeli attacks on Tehran.
According to the Jerusalem Post, the proposal is anticipated to uphold the Trump administration’s stance that the Iranian government must refrain from uranium enrichment. However, sources suggest that it may offer some improvements compared to a previous proposal put forward about a week and a half ago.
The White House did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment on a potential final nuclear deal offer to Iranians.
Negotiations between Washington and Tehran began in April with the aim of establishing a new agreement to replace the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which the US withdrew from during the Trump presidency in 2018.
The discussions have not progressed significantly due to the Islamic Republic’s insistence on retaining the right to enrich uranium in any future nuclear agreement – a condition that former President Trump strongly opposes.
As Iran appeared on the brink of building a nuclear warhead, Israel launched “Operation Rising Lion” last week – sending warplanes to bomb Iranian above-ground nuclear sites and targeting top scientists and leaders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The military operation also came at the conclusion of a 60-day window Trump gave Iran to strike a deal that would rid them of their capabilities to develop a nuclear weapon.
Iran has retaliated by directing ballistic missile barrages toward Israel, some of which have hit civilian areas, resulting in deaths.
“They have to make a deal, and it’s painful for both parties, but I’d say Iran is not winning this war, and they usually talk, and they should talk immediately, before it’s too late,” Trump said Monday at the G7 summit in Alberta.
The Trump administration maintains that it has not been helping Israel facilitate its attacks on Iran, but in a Truth Social post Monday night, the president alarmingly called for the capital of the Islamic Republic to be evacuated.
“Iran should have signed the ‘deal’ I told them to sign. What a shame, and waste of human life,” Trump wrote. “Simply stated, IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON. I said it over and over again!”
“Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!”
