Iran Eyes Limited U.S. Deal to Relieve Economic Strain and Buy Time
(Reuters) Parisa Hafezi - Iran is pushing for a limited interim agreement with the U.S. in a bid to ease mounting economic pressure, while avoiding major concessions on its nuclear program, according to sources and analysts. The approach reflects a familiar playbook for the Islamic Republic: absorb pressure, avoid irreversible compromises, and keep negotiations alive without shifting core positions, Iranian sources said. Officials see a narrow deal as a way to buy time, unlock financial relief, and contain rising domestic risks over a deteriorating economy without addressing the most contentious issues.
