US prepares ‘term sheet’ for Iran amid nuclear talks deadlock - WSJ

The United States is preparing to present Iran with a detailed “term sheet” that would require Tehran to end uranium enrichment, according to a senior US official, as nuclear talks enter a sensitive phase and concerns mount over Israeli military plans.

The official, speaking to the Wall Street Journal, said that Washington’s proposal outlines key principles for a potential deal.

“If they don’t accept these terms, it’s not going to be a good day for the Iranians,” the unnamed official said.

Negotiators from both sides have met five times since talks began on April 12, but remain at an impasse over enrichment, a long-standing Iranian demand.

President Donald Trump said this week that talks were progressing and warned Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against taking actions that could undermine diplomacy. Trump’s administration has voiced frustration over Israel’s push to retain the option of striking Iran’s nuclear facilities, according to the report.
