Trump Signals Potential Resumption of Iran Talks This Week Amid Stalemate Over Enrichment Deal

President Donald Trump hinted Wednesday that Iran talks could restart within days, even as his team rejects Tehran’s enrichment timeline.

Iran talks and the enrichment impasse

Vice President JD Vance, the chief U.S. negotiator, is demanding a ↓ 20 years moratorium on uranium enrichment, a demand that starkly contrasts with Iran’s offer of a ↑ 5 years window.

“We are prepared to move forward, but not at the cost of compromising our security,” Trump told reporters.

The divergence was highlighted in recent Reuters coverage, while Bloomberg noted the diplomatic strain could spill over into broader nuclear negotiations.

Analysts warn that any slip could derail the fragile progress made since the 2015 accord, urging both sides to keep channels open.
