AIDr. Nabil Al-Atoum, Director of the Iranian Studies Program at the Center for Regional Studies, said the US and European response to Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi's proposal concerns the sequencing of steps for the nuclear agreement.
In an interview with Al Arabiya FM, Al-Atoum added that US President Donald Trump is seeking stronger implementation guarantees, not just political memoranda that Iran could delay, stressing that timing is crucial in this matter.
He continued that, if reached, the agreement would include steps starting with the Strait of Hormuz file and halting attacks on regional countries, followed by uranium enrichment—which has become a central issue for the United States. Next would be the economic file, covering oil exports and Iran's frozen funds, and finally the issue of Iran's proxies. Al-Atoum noted that the Iranian regime is now in a difficult position, while the US president insists on moving toward a decisive phase.
