Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that during a brief visit to Tehran by his Omani counterpart Badr Albusaidi, he was presented with “elements of the US deal.”

This comes after a report by the UN nuclear watchdog stated that Iran had further increased production of enriched uranium — a key component in making nuclear weapons.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Saturday that accepting the deal was “in Tehran’s best interest,” adding, “President Trump has made it clear that Iran will never obtain a nuclear bomb.”

Leavitt said a “detailed and acceptable” proposal was sent to Iran by President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff.

The proposal followed a report from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), seen by the BBC, which found that Iran currently possesses over 400 kg of uranium enriched to 60% purity — close to the 90% required for weapons-grade material.

This level is far above what is needed for civilian nuclear power and research purposes.

If further refined, it would be enough for about 10 nuclear weapons, making Iran the only non-nuclear-armed state producing uranium at such levels.

The report opens the way for pressure from the US, UK, France, and Germany on the IAEA board to formally accuse Iran of violating non-proliferation obligations.

Iran claims its program is peaceful. On Saturday, Iranian state media called the IAEA report “politically motivated” and full of “baseless accusations.”

Iran stated it would take “appropriate measures” if any action is taken against Tehran at the IAEA board meeting.
