Israeli officials tell NYT informal US-Iran deal 'imminent'; enrichment to stay at 60%

Under the unwritten agreement, described as a "political ceasefire," the US will release funds and stop tightening sanctions, in exchange for Iran keeping enrichment levels and avoiding attacks on Americans.

The United States has been negotiating "quietly" with Iran to limit the regime's nuclear program, The New York Times reported Thursday based on Israeli, Iranian, and US sources.

Washington seeks to reach an informal, unwritten agreement to reduce the risk of a military confrontation with Tehran, which has been stockpiling highly enriched uranium close to bomb-grade purity, according to the Times.

Under that agreement, which Israeli officials called "imminent," Iran will reportedly not be allowed to enrich uranium above 60% and will refrain from attacks on Americans. In return, the US will release Iranian funds, swap prisoners and pledge to avoid tightening sanctions as well as to not seize oil-bearing foreign tankers, not seek new punitive resolutions at the United Nations or the International Atomic Energy Agency against Iran for its nuclear activity.

The talks, held indirectly, reflect a resumption of diplomacy between the US and Iran after the withdrawal of then-US President Donald Trump from the 2015 nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, in 2018.

Israel has warned Iran against producing bomb-worthy uranium. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said in May, "If Iran enriches to the 90% weapons-grade, it would be a great error and the price would be heavy."
