The White House is seriously considering Iran’s proposal for indirect nuclear talks, while significantly increasing US forces in the Middle East in case President Donald Trump chooses to conduct military strikes, Axios reports, citing sources.
The report says Tehran recently responded to Trump’s letter to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, which allegedly included a two-month deadline for reaching a new nuclear deal.
In its response, Axios says Iran refused direct negotiations but was open to indirect talks mediated by Oman. Though the White House is less optimistic about the prospects of indirect talks, it is considering the matter, the report says.
US officials speaking to the outlet say no decision has yet been made.
