The tentative proposal is one of several being considered. The Trump administration in recent days has explored possible economic incentives for Iran in return for the regime halting uranium enrichment, including releasing billions of dollars in frozen Iranian assets. The tentative proposal would also allow Iran to receive assistance from regional countries to enable Tehran to build a civilian nuclear program, granting an access to as much as $30 billion.
The proposal is one of many ideas under consideration by the US President Donald Trump led administration, as per reliable insider sources. The potential deal would mark a major reversal in policy for President Trump, who pulled the U.S. out of the Obama administration’s nuclear deal with Iran in 2018 arguing in part that the sanctions relief and unfreezing of Iranian assets had provided a lifeline of cash to the Iranian regime to continue its malign activities.
Although, it currently remains unclear as to whether the financial proposal or any negotiations between the U.S. and Iran will move forward. However, in another press meet address, Trump publicly denied exploring any such plausible deal idea, stating this information was hoax and a piece of fake news, like many other rumours floating around.
Earlier Friday, Trump threatened to drop any possible sanctions relief for Iran after Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declared victory in the war against Israel and downplayed the significance of U.S. attacks on their nuclear sites.
Trump wrote in a lengthy post on Truth Social, adding. “During the last few days, I was working on the possible removal of sanctions, and other things, which would have given a much better chance to Iran at a full, fast, and complete recovery — The sanctions are BITING! But no, instead I get hit with a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust.”
The Iranian supremo, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had publicly announced a few days, via a pre-recorded message that Iran had emerged victorious in the apparent war against Israel and that the United States was delivered a hand slap on its face; and if required, a similar consequence could be repeated too.
This comment and inappropriate remark for the United States did not go down pleasantly in the eyes of Trump and expressed his disappointment in Iran refuting or acknowledging the efforts made by him to mediate the situation and arrive at an apparent ceasefire. On the contrary, however, Trump insisted the Iranians still wanted to meet him to discuss possible sanctions relief; a claim which has no confirmation as of yet.
