Reuters: Iran and the United States held direct negotiations after the start of Israel's blows

Special Messenger of US President Donald Trump Steve Whitkoff and Foreign Minister Iran Abbas Aragchi spoke several times on the phone after Israel began to strike Iran. They tried to find a “diplomatic exit from the crisis,” reports Reuters with reference to diplomatic sources.

According to the interlocutors of the agency, Aragchi told Willkoff that Tehran would not return to negotiations on a “nuclear transaction” if Israel does not stop attacking.

The Iranian Foreign Minister also told the special support that Tehran could make some concessions in the “nuclear question” if Washington puts pressure on Israel, says one of the sources.

According to Reuters sources, the negotiations of Aragchi and Whitkoff included a brief discussion of the proposal of the United States transferred to Iran at the end of May - we are talking about creating a regional consortium to enrich uranium outside Iran. So far, Tehran has rejected this proposal, the agency notes.

• The Wall Street Journal previously wrote that Trump approved the US strike plan for Iran, but did not give the final order. According to publications, the US President told senior assistants that he was approved by attack plans, but so far refrains from it to see if Tehran would refuse his nuclear program. The possible goal of the American attack WSJ calls the Uranus enrichment plant in Fordo.
• "The Wall Street Journal has no idea what I think about Iran!" - Trump commented on the publication of WSJ.
