U.S. and Iran Close to JCPOA-Like Nuclear Deal, Extending Restrictions for 25 Years Amid Netanyahu's Surprise

Rafael Grossi, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has indicated that Iran is engaging seriously in nuclear talks with the United States. However, he cautioned that a deal is not imminent, stating in an interview with USNews, 'Does that mean that we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel? Well, not yet.'

Grossi expressed serious concern over Iran's increasing stockpile of uranium enriched to 60%, warning that time is running out to prevent a crisis or even military conflict due to the ongoing progress of Iran's nuclear program.

Recent developments suggest that negotiations between the U.S. and Iran are nearing an agreement that closely resembles the 2015 nuclear deal, known as the JCPOA. Sources indicate that the proposed agreement would extend the nuclear program's restrictions for 25 years, tighten verification measures, and maintain the core elements of the original deal without fully dismantling Iran's nuclear capabilities.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was reportedly taken aback by U.S. President Donald Trump's decision to initiate negotiations with Iran, learning of the move less than 24 hours before a joint press conference. Netanyahu had sought Trump's support for military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, but the shift towards diplomacy has left Israel considering unilateral action if negotiations continue.
