Saudi-owned news outlet Al Arabiya reported late Monday afternoon that a Qatari-Pakistani proposal has revived hopes for negotiations between the US and Iran negotiators, with a preliminary deal to curb Iranian uranium enrichment appearing likely.
Al Arabiya outlines the US-Iran path toward a preliminary enrichment deal:
Arrangements are underway to discuss the return of IAEA inspectors to Iran, without specifying the scope of their mission.
Washington has allowed uranium enrichment inside Iran at a level of 3.67%, and Tehran has agreed.
Discussions are underway regarding the involvement of a third country to facilitate the reduction of highly enriched uranium levels in Iran.
A preliminary agreement on reducing Iranian uranium enrichment is likely.
The reported uranium enrichment deal would let Iran retain a limited civilian nuclear program while curbing its ability to produce material usable in nuclear weapons.
