Iran said on Saturday that it has officially received a new nuclear deal proposal from U.S. President Donald Trump, delivered by Oman during a diplomatic visit to Tehran.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced on X that Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi visited Tehran and presented the elements of the offer.
He stated, “My esteemed brother, Oman’s distinguished Foreign Minister Busaidi, made a brief visit to Tehran today and presented elements of a U.S. proposal that will be answered appropriately, based on the Iranian people's principles, national interests, and rights.”
The nuclear talks between Iran and the United States remain deadlocked, with uranium enrichment at the heart of the disagreement.
Iran is demanding a lifting of sanctions in exchange for limits on its nuclear programme that prevent it from producing a nuclear weapon.
While U.S. officials had earlier signalled readiness to tolerate low-level enrichment, they now insist Iran must stop all enrichment activities across all levels.
So far, five rounds of indirect negotiations have taken place through Oman. No date or location has been confirmed for the next round.
According to U.S. media, Washington presented a written proposal to Iranian negotiators during the May 11 talks in Oman. Trump later confirmed this when asked, saying: “Yes, there is an offer. But Iran must act fast, or bad things will happen.”
Until now, Iranian officials had denied receiving any written proposal—today’s statement marks the first formal acknowledgement.
