Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi , says he had been presented with “elements of a US deal” by his Omani counterpart, Badr Albusaidi.
He said the proposal was presented by Badri Albusaidi during a short visit to the Iranian capital.
The nuclear deal between Tehran and Washington comes after a report by the UN nuclear watchdog.
The report said Iran had further stepped up its production of enriched uranium, a key component in the making of nuclear weapons.
The US proposal “will be appropriately responded to in line with the principles, national interests and rights of the people of Iran”, Araghchi wrote on X.
White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt also revealed on Saturday that it was in Tehran’s “best interest to accept” the deal, adding: “President Trump has made it clear that Iran can never obtain a nuclear bomb”.
Leavitt said a “detailed and acceptable” proposal had been sent to Iran by US President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff.
The precise details of the deal are not yet clear.
