US Offers Sanctions Relief in Exchange for Iran's Nuclear Compliance

According to the US official, the easing of sanctions will be directly tied to Iran's actions. The US official claimed that the deal will have economic benefits only if Iran fulfills its commitments to the nuclear program and cooperates with the inspection process. The US says the agreement is designed to benefit both sides simultaneously. That is, verification will occur first and sanctions relief will follow. The US claims that Iran has agreed to phase out enriched nuclear material and disable nuclear sites. Technical details are still being negotiated. The official said the main objective is to ensure that Iran does not have any infrastructure left that could be used to develop nuclear weapons in the future. The US believes that the move will be extremely important for global security. The US official claimed that the deal could have the support of key allies, including Israel and the Gulf states. He said that while the biggest concern of regional countries is Iran's nuclear program, it has not ruled out the possibility of a regional response.
