U.S. resists pressure to offer a new nuclear deal to Iranian regime

NCRI – The Obama administration is rejecting calls for it to offer a bold diplomatic proposal to the Iranian regime in hopes of breaking the long stalemate over its nuclear program, Los Angeles Times reported on Friday.

Despite the urging of some former top U.S. officials and foreign diplomats for an aggressive new U.S. initiative, a senior official said the administration would not revise its latest proposal and instead was looking for a more positive response from the Iranian regime.

“We have a proposal on the table,” the American official, who did not want to be identified because of the sensitivity of the issue, told a group of reporters. “We are waiting for a serious proposal back…. At the end of the day, the onus is on Iran.”

“Quite frankly, those options are already on the table with the Iranians…. They know that,” the official told the Los Angeles Times.
