The US President Donald Trump expected to submit to Iran A “last chance” offer, US and European officials said on Monday (16/6/25) in The Jerusaem Post.
One official added that Donald Trump’s proposal could be even better than the previous proposal submitted by the government to Iran about a week ago.
The expectation is that even if such a proposal is made, it will be based on the American principle of zero uranium enrichment.
Diplomatic “fever” for ceasefire
As Post said on Sunday, Iran approached Oman and Qatar to mediate with the Trump government in an effort to stop Israeli attacks and continue negotiations on his nuclear program. Saudi Arabia also works backstage through a separate channel to promote the ceasefire.
Trump confirmed earlier on Monday that Iran had addressed the US in an attempt to stop Israeli blows. “It seems that Iran is not winning this war. Have to talk before it’s too late ”Trump told Canada.
An Israeli official told the post that, so far, Israel has not received any official approach. “The negotiations are currently being held between Tehran and Washington – in the meantime, we continue to hit more and more goals,” an Israeli official said.
US war preparations
The US government confirmed on Monday that the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier will arrive in the Middle East, while about 30 refueling aircraft will also be sent to the area. A US source told the post that preparations are being made to make possible involvement in the blows if Trump gives the green light.
Within the US government, there is a disagreement over whether the US should be involved in the Israeli attack.
Dan Sapiro, a former Deputy Assistant US Secretary of Defense on Middle East issues, told the Post that “President Trump is implementing the military means necessary to enable him to hit Iran, including Fordu.”
Shapiro estimated that there are other means that are not visible and will also grow in the area. “This does not mean that he has made the decision to hit. But Trump can use threat as a pressure lever To persuade Iran to agree to return to the negotiating table and make the concession it would not do before: it stops the enrichment with the possibility of building a nuclear weapon. “
Shapiro, who is also a senior Atlantic Council associate, added that in order to be a sustainable threat, “Trump must be willing to follow it if Iran does not give up or if Israel has no different solution for Fordu.”
