Media: Khamenei approves a "partial freeze" on uranium enrichmentlink to My FX Buddies BlogpostTensions may be cooling—slightly.
If you 'd like to support My FX Buddies:https://cash.app/$tishwashGet a free transcript at https://rss.com/podcasts/myfxbuddies/In a surprising twist during ongoing nuclear negotiations, Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has reportedly approved a partial freeze on uranium enrichment if needed to strike a deal with the U.S. This potential compromise comes during a fourth round of indirect talks, held in Oman, aimed at easing economic sanctions in exchange for limits on Iran’s nuclear program.While Iranian officials insist their right to enrich uranium is “non-negotiable,” the move signals a strategic softening—perhaps to ease mounting economic pressure. U.S. officials remain wary, reaffirming that enrichment for weapons-grade use remains a “red line.”
