Iran to reject US nuclear proposal
Shafaq News/ Iran is preparing to reject the latest US proposal to resolve the nuclear standoff, calling it 'unbalanced' and out of step with Tehran's key demands, a senior Iranian diplomat told Reuters on Monday. The offer, delivered in Tehran over the weekend by Oman's Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi, follows five rounds of indirect talks between Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and US envoy Steve Witkoff. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the diplomat described the proposal as a 'non-starter,' citing Washington's refusal to soften its stance on uranium enrichment and the lack of clarity on lifting sanctions. Tehran is demanding the full and immediate removal of sanctions, especially those reinstated after President Donald Trump withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal. The US is offering phased relief, a model Iran has consistently rejected. Key Iranian institutions, including the central bank and national oil company, remain under terrorism-related sanctions. The Iranian negotiating team, under the direct supervision of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, views the proposal as 'one-sided' and designed to pressure Tehran into a disadvantageous agreement, the source added. The US has ramped up pressure since Trump's return to office, tightening sanctions and reviving threats of military action if talks fail. Earlier, Araghchi confirmed Tehran will issue a formal response soon. The developments come alongside a tripartite meeting in Cairo, where Iranian and Egyptian foreign ministers met with the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to discuss Iran's nuclear file and broader regional stability.

Cairo hosts high-stakes meeting on Iran's nuclear program
Shafaq News/ Egyptian and Iranian high-level officials, along with the director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), convened in Cairo on Monday for a three-way meeting focused on Iran's nuclear program and regional security challenges. The talks brought together Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and IAEA chief Rafael Mariano Grossi. On X, Grossi praised Egypt's role in promoting peaceful, diplomatic solutions to regional challenges, as well as its support for nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation efforts. Timely meeting in Cairo with Egypt's @MfaEgypt Badr Abdelatty and Iran's Foreign Minister @ for Egypt's constructive role in supporting peaceful, diplomatic solutions to regional challenges. — Rafael Mariano Grossi (@rafaelmgrossi) June 2, 2025 The meeting came against the backdrop of a series of high-level discussions between Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Araghchi earlier in the day. El-Sisi underscored Egypt's unwavering commitment to dialogue and conflict de-escalation in the Middle East, particularly emphasizing the urgent need for a ceasefire in Gaza and secure maritime navigation in the Red Sea. El-Sisi also welcomed Araghchi's updates on the ongoing US-Iran nuclear negotiations, voicing hope for a peaceful settlement to safeguard regional stability. For his part, Araghchi conveyed Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian's greetings to El-Sisi and lauded Egypt's pivotal efforts in fostering calm across the region. In a joint press conference with Abdelatty, Araghchi affirmed Tehran's readiness to strengthen bilateral ties, expand trade and tourism, and boost political consultations in the coming period. He also reiterated that Iran's nuclear program remains strictly peaceful and transparent, dismissing any allegations to the contrary as politically motivated. The Cairo summit unfolded just days after the IAEA released a confidential report expressing deep concern over Iran's growing stockpile of 60% enriched uranium, a technical step away from weapons-grade material. Grossi told reporters in Cairo that the agency aims to 'incentivize a diplomatic solution' while acknowledging that Iran's uranium enrichment raises significant alarm for the IAEA's board of governors. Araghchi countered these claims, stressing Iran's 'continuous cooperation' with the agency.

China rejects Trump's trade deal violation claims
Shafaq News/ China pushed back, on Monday, against accusations from US President Donald Trump that it violated last month's trade deal, calling the claims 'groundless.' In a statement, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce insisted that Beijing had honored all terms of the May agreement signed in Geneva, blaming the United States for destabilizing trade ties. 'The US government has unilaterally and repeatedly provoked new economic and trade frictions,' the ministry noted, pointing to recent US moves, such as AI chip export restrictions, bans on chip design software, and visa cancellations for Chinese students, as violations of the agreement's intent. Beijing warned it would respond with 'forceful measures,' without specifying what steps it might take. The Geneva accord included a 90-day suspension of triple-digit tariffs and a pledge by China to lift certain trade barriers on key metals used in the US technology and defense sectors. Trump, writing Friday on Truth Social, claimed that China had 'TOTALLY VIOLATED' the agreement. He also doubled down on the claim during a rally in Pennsylvania, announcing plans to raise tariffs on imported steel and aluminum from 25% to 50% to protect domestic producers. The US President offered no evidence to support the allegation of non-compliance. A federal appeals court has temporarily upheld the tariff hike, following a lower court ruling that deemed the administration's strategy 'unlawful.' While China remains the world's top steel producer, its steel exports to the US have been limited since 2018. It currently ranks as the third-largest aluminum supplier to the US market.
