The Guardian: European countries impose an Iranian proposal regarding its nuclear program

SadaNews - A report in The Guardian stated that in a last-ditch effort to prevent the renewal of United Nations sanctions following the activation of the "snapback" mechanism, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi proposed to European countries to allow Iran access to International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors, but to only one nuclear site that was attacked and not to all sites.

Moreover, Arakchi requested a plan within 45 days on how to address Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, but in return, he demanded the lifting of sanctions permanently.

European countries rejected the offer, and comprehensive United Nations sanctions are expected to come into effect tonight after the Security Council is anticipated to reject Russia's proposal to extend the implementation period by six months. SadaNews translated this as well.

An European diplomat told The Guardian that the Foreign Ministry in Tehran thought we would not move forward with this matter, and they did not present any serious offer at any time. Arakchi miscalculated in this regard.

Meanwhile, a report in The Washington Post stated that satellite images revealed after the attacks specifically that Iran has enhanced the operational scope at the mysterious underground nuclear facility in Mount Koulange, near the Natanz nuclear facility that was attacked by Israel and the United States during the war.

Iran refused to disclose the purpose of the underground facility, which is purportedly deeper than the nuclear facility that was bombed in Fordow, and Iran hinted when starting work at the site in 2020 that it is related to the nuclear program and the operation of centrifuges.
