Two Iranian sources told Reuters on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, that Tehran might halt uranium enrichment as part of a “political agreement,” provided that the United States unfreezes Iran’s blocked assets and recognizes Tehran’s right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes. Such an agreement could pave the way for a comprehensive nuclear deal.
According to these sources, who are close to the negotiating team, if Washington accepts Tehran’s conditions, a political understanding with the United States could be reached soon.
One of the sources said that this issue has not yet been raised in discussions with the United States.
Iranian Regime Accelerates Uranium Enrichment to Concerning Levels
The Iranian sources stressed that Tehran will not agree to halt its nuclear program, dismantle its infrastructure, or seal its nuclear facilities, as demanded by the Trump administration.
Meanwhile, Iran’s regime has still not been able to access the 6 billion dollars deposited in a Qatari bank—an amount that was unfrozen in 2023 during a prisoner exchange between the U.S. and Iran under Joe Biden’s administration.
The second source acknowledged that Tehran wants these funds transferred to Iran without any conditions or restrictions. If it is necessary to lift certain sanctions for this to happen, then that should be done.
International Atomic Energy Agency that a new report on Iran’s nuclear program will be released soon.
Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), announced that the agency will “soon” release its new report on the nuclear program of the Iranian regime.
Grossi says the comprehensive report on Iran's safeguards non-cooperation will come "soon." Pressed by @francoismurphy on the likely content, he says, "It's going to be comprehensive and it's going to be a report!" Reminder that comp report is next step to possible snapback.

On Wednesday, he added that the report will be comprehensive.
The release of a comprehensive report on the Iranian regime’s nuclear program is a step toward potentially triggering the snapback mechanism for the automatic reimposition of sanctions against Iran’s regime.
