The officials said Iran may ultimately agree to a deal requiring it to abandon all uranium enrichment, though the window for diplomacy remains narrow.
"If Iran returns to the negotiations and agrees to drop its uranium enrichment, US officials believe a high-level meeting led by Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and potentially Vice President JD Vance would happen as soon as this week," the report said.

The Israeli military said on Wednesday it had carried out a series of overnight airstrikes on multiple military targets in the Tehran area, including a centrifuge production site and weapons manufacturing facilities.
According to the statement, over 50 Israeli Air Force fighter jets struck locations linked to Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, guided by military intelligence.
Among the targets was a site used to produce centrifuges for uranium enrichment, which the IDF said were intended to expand Iran’s capacity to develop nuclear weapons. The statement also added that several facilities producing components for surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles were hit, including materials used in attacks against Israel.
The strikes are part of what the IDF described as an ongoing effort to degrade Iran’s nuclear weapons program and its missile production capabilities.
