Summary
Iran is inching closer to a nuclear deal with the U.S., offering a private consortium that could shield its enrichment efforts while enabling regional allies to participate. However, doubts persist over new facility visibility and potential political opposition from hard-line politicians, despite Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's support. Tensions between the U.S. and Israel also loom as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pressures President Trump to intervene in Iran’s nuclear facilities, though Trump expresses hesitations about this strategy. The negotiations hinge on balancing both sides’ interests while ensuring regional stability.
