Jafaj source close in the Persian Gulf indicate that Iran has put forward a proposal to the United States involving the transfer of approximately 400 kg of highly enriched uranium to Russia, under guarantees that Turkey would oversee aspects of the arrangement. The proposal reportedly includes provisions allowing Iran to retain its ballistic missile program and stop funding all terror groups in the region and beyond.
- In return, Tehran is seeking U.S. backing for compensation to address the extensive damage sustained by Iranian infrastructure. There is also a suggestion that Arab Gulf states, particularly Qatar and others, could play a role in financing such compensation.
- Sources in Washington confirm that the United States has not responded. Early indications suggest that Washington is unlikely to consider any arrangement short of taking direct custody of Iran’s enriched uranium itself.
