Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi recently said negotiating over the missile program and the Axis of Resistance as part of a deal was ‘impossible’

Turkiye, Qatar, and Egypt presented Tehran and Washington with a framework for upcoming negotiations – including a commitment from Iran to significantly reduce uranium enrichment, vow not to use ballistic missiles, and halt support for resistance groups, sources told Al Jazeera.

These are all terms Tehran has refused to consider during negotiations, which almost led to the cancellation of the Omani-hosted talks on Friday.

“Mediators from Qatar, Turkiye, and Egypt have presented Iran and the US with a framework of key principles to be discussed in talks on Friday this week, including a commitment by Iran to significantly limit its uranium enrichment. Key points in the proposed framework also include restrictions on the use of ballistic missiles and the arming of Iran’s allies in the region,” the report says.

According to the sources, which include an anonymous senior diplomat, the proposal says Iran must commit to zero enrichment.
