Shafaq News- Washington/ Tehran

US is prepared to hold a new round of nuclear talks withIran in Geneva on Friday if Tehran submits a detailed proposal within the next48 hours, a senior US official told Axios on Sunday.

    The official said the Trump administration is waiting forIran’s draft before confirming participation in the meeting, adding that the USand Iran could discuss the possibility of an interim agreement before reachinga comprehensive nuclear deal.

    According to Axios, US special envoy Steve Witkoff and WhiteHouse adviser Jared Kushner asked Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi tosubmit a detailed written proposal within days during the previous round oftalks in Geneva. Washington’s position calls for zero uranium enrichment onIranian soil, though US officials indicated they may consider what theydescribed as “token enrichment” if Iran can demonstrate that the arrangementblocks any pathway to developing a nuclear weapon. US officials also indicated that Trump could order a strikeat any time, although several advisers are currently encouraging the presidentto allow diplomacy to proceed.

    Meanwhile, Reuters cited a senior Iranian official saying Iran and the United States are preparing to hold a new round of indirect nuclear talks in early March, stressing that Tehran will retain full control over its oil and mineral resources despite the diplomatic push.

    On February 20, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi rejected reports that Washington had demanded a complete halt to uranium enrichment as a precondition for a nuclear agreement, while affirming that Tehran had not offered to suspend enrichment activities

    US Senator Lindsey Graham urged Trumpto disregard advisers who oppose military action against Iran. Speaking toAxios February 21, Graham argued that avoiding confrontation could carryconsequences.
