U.S. Tries to Break Iran Nuclear Deadlock with New Proposal for Tehran
(Politico) Nahal Toosi - Biden administration officials plan to put forth a new proposal to jump-start nuclear talks with Iran. The proposal asks Iran to halt some of its nuclear activities, such as work on advanced centrifuges and the enrichment of uranium to 20% purity, in exchange for some relief from U.S. economic sanctions. President Biden appears in no rush to restore the original deal, people familiar with the situation said. The president is well-aware that the public is more concerned about the coronavirus pandemic, the economy, and other issues. Plus, having a Senate split 50-50 also gives Biden less room to maneuver politically.
