BlockBeats News, April 14th. According to The New York Times on the 13th, Iranian officials stated that they could only agree to suspend uranium enrichment activities for a maximum of 5 years. U.S. President Trump has rejected this proposal.

The report stated that during U.S.-Iran negotiations held in Islamabad, Pakistan, the U.S. requested Iran to suspend uranium enrichment activities for 20 years. On the 13th, Iranian officials made a formal response, indicating that they could only agree to a 5-year suspension at most.

However, Iran proposed a significant "dilution" of this nuclear fuel. The report mentioned that both the U.S. and Iran are discussing holding a new round of face-to-face talks, but according to U.S. officials, the plans have not been finalized yet.
