US in search of a new deal for Iran: Secret scenario targeting Khamenei and his son on the agenda

Nuclear tensions between the US and Iran have reached a critical turning point. The Trump administration has put a proposal on the table that would allow Iran to enrich uranium at a symbolic level in exchange for Tehran completely closing the path to nuclear weapons. However, the US side remains insistent that its conditions are clear and uncompromising.

A senior US official close to the matter pointed out that despite the two countries' opposing positions, a middle ground could be found through cautious diplomacy. "President Trump is prepared to evaluate proposals that he can both carry in domestic politics and that have substantial content. If the Iranians want to avoid an attack, they must present an offer we cannot refuse," the official said, warning that tensions could escalate.

Furthermore, it has been learned that US President Trump has received information regarding assassination plans that could be carried out in a single strike against Iran's supreme leader Khamenei and his son. It was stated that the Pentagon continues its preparations for all possible military scenarios.

A White House advisor argued that increasing military pressure could provide diplomatic leverage, while emphasizing that the final decision will be made by Trump himself. White House Press Secretary Anna Kelly also stated, "All analyses are merely hypothetical; the final decision rests with the president."

In the US's new proposal, the possibility of granting the Tehran administration a limited, albeit symbolic, right to enrichment is being discussed. It is noted that for this approach to be implemented, there must be no doubt that Iran's nuclear program is limited entirely to peaceful purposes.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi signaled a positive negotiation environment during his contacts in Geneva, saying, "The issue we are currently discussing is how to ensure that Iran's nuclear program, including enrichment, is peaceful and will remain peaceful forever."

Trump's representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, meanwhile, demanded that the Iranian side present a concrete and detailed proposal. Although the official US approach is for the complete cessation of uranium enrichment in Iran, the message is being given that 'small and symbolic' rights could be discussed in the event of a new plan from Tehran.

Mediator actors from the region, such as Oman and Qatar, argue that any solution to be put forward must be in a way that both Iran and the US can declare as a "victory." Iranian negotiator Araghchi points out that mutual sacrifices are necessary for a "win-win" based compromise.

It was also learned that Rafael Grossi, the head of the UN nuclear watchdog, is providing technical support to the negotiations, and that the agency is developing measures for the re-inspection of centrifuges in Iran and the removal of unauthorized enriched uranium.

US officials stated that the final word on the path to an agreement depends on an official and detailed written proposal to come from Tehran, and that the ball is now in Iran's court in the process.
