Turkey Says U.S. Appears Willing to Allow Limited Iranian Enrichment

Omani-mediated contacts resumed, according to Ankara, with a warning that expanding the agenda to missiles could trigger war.

Overview

  • Turkish foreign minister Hakan Fidan told the Financial Times that Washington and Tehran are showing flexibility on reviving a nuclear deal.
  • Fidan said the U.S. appears willing to tolerate Iranian enrichment within clearly defined limits, a shift from earlier red lines.
  • He added that Tehran seeks sanctions relief and would accept capped enrichment and strict inspections similar to the 2015 framework.
  • Washington had previously insisted Iran give up uranium enriched up to 60% purity, short of the roughly 90% considered weapons grade.
  • Indirect talks in Oman resumed last week through Omani mediators, alongside U.S. naval deployments that Trump said could expand to a second carrier.
