US EditionUPDATE 1-Turkey’s Foreign Minister Says the US and Iran Showing Flexibility on Nuclear Deal, FT Reports
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan says Iran and the US may allow limited uranium enrichment under strict limits, signaling progress after years of stalled negotiations.
- In Istanbul, Hakan Fidan said Washington and Tehran show unusual flexibility in nuclear talks, with Iran's leaders viewing a deal as unavoidable.
- Fidan said Iran genuinely wants a deal and Iranian leaders now view an agreement with Washington as unavoidable, while US officials recalibrate expectations, accepting that `coercion has reached the end of its usefulness`.
- Fidan has acted as a behind-the-scenes broker, and US officials appear prepared to allow limited uranium enrichment under intrusive inspections resembling the 2015 nuclear accord.
- Expanding talks beyond nuclear issues, Fidan warned, attempts to bundle Iran's ballistic missile programme or support for regional armed groups would collapse negotiations and risk regional conflict.
- If the shift holds, it could yield a limited revival of an accord with intrusive inspections and strict enrichment limits, affecting the non-proliferation regime and United States-Iran relations.
