Proposals for Iran deal limit enrichment but preserve nuclear program – Reuters

Proposals for a renewed nuclear agreement between the United States and Iran would cap uranium enrichment and expand international oversight, but stop short of dismantling Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, eight sources familiar with the talks told Reuters.

The framework under discussion largely mirrors the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), which was abandoned by President Donald Trump in 2018, but includes stricter inspections, extended timelines, and expanded sunset clauses.

“Essentially, the negotiations are shaping into a ‘JCPOA 2’ with some additions that would allow Trump to present it as a victory, while Iran could still keep its right to enrichment,” said a senior Iranian official.
