Iran to counter US nuclear offer as Trump sends new warning

A senior Iranian official has announced that Tehran is drafting a counter-proposal to the latest U.S. offer on its nuclear program, rejecting the American plan as insufficient and “clumsy.”

The statement came as President Donald Trump warned time is running out for Iran to make a decision regarding its nuclear ambitions, revealing that Russian President Vladimir Putin may join the negotiations. Ali Shamkhani, a top advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, told Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen TV that the U.S. offer fails to address a primary demand, which is the lifting of sanctions. Newsweek has reached out to the State Department and Iran’s foreign ministry for comment.
