US proposes 20-year minimum suspension on Iranian uranium enrichment: Source
The U.S. proposed a 20-year minimum suspension on Iranian uranium enrichment rather than a permanent end to enrichment amid negotiations to end the war with the country, a source familiar with the negotiations told ABC News on Monday.
The source said that in addition to the suspension, the U.S. also suggested "all kinds" of other restrictions but did not immediately elaborate on what they were.
The news comes as The New York Times reported on Monday that the U.S. had asked for a 20-year suspension, with the Iranians formally responding on Monday that they would agree to suspend enrichment for up to five years. The paper reported that the president had rejected that offer.
The White House did not respond to ABC News' request for comment on the Iranian proposal nor the president’s reaction to it.
