Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on Saturday said he had received "elements" of a US proposal for a potential nuclear deal following five rounds of talks mediated by Oman.

Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi “paid a short visit to Tehran today to present elements of a US proposal which will be appropriately responded to in line with the principles, national interests and rights of the people of Iran,” Araghchi said on X.

Earlier today, Iran's foreign ministry denounced as “political” and unbalanced a report by the United Nations nuclear watchdog saying Tehran had stepped up production of highly enriched uranium.

“The structure and content of this report... which was prepared for political purposes... are not balanced and lack a comprehensive and accurate assessment of the factors affecting the current situation,” the ministry said in a statement.

Iran's foreign ministry accused Israel of providing “unreliable and misleading information” to the International Atomic Energy Agency to be used in its new report on Tehran's nuclear program.

“Relying on unreliable and misleading information sources provided by the Israeli regime ... is contrary to the IAEA's principles of professional verification,” the ministry said.
