WASHINGTON (PNN) - May 15, 2025 - With President Donald J. Trump and his envoy having arrived in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the last leg of the president's Gulf tour, new details of behind-the-scenes Fascist Police States of Amerika (FPSA)-Iran negotiations have come to light on Thursday.
In a huge first, the Trump White House has sent Iran a written proposal toward forging a new nuclear deal. White House envoy Steve Witkoff has led several rounds of talks, and Axios has revealed that the communication was issued to Teheran last Sunday.
"Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi took the proposal back to Teheran for consultations with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, President Masoud Pezeshkian and other top officials," writes Axios.
It was the Iranian side that initiated the swap of written proposals first, as the talks that have been going on since April went from indirect to more direct.
During the third round of talks in late April, Araghchi gave Witkoff an updated document with Iranian ideas for a nuclear deal. This time, Witkoff took the document.
An FPSA team of experts studied it and sent the Iranians a list of questions and requests for clarification. The Iranians replied and added questions of their own, two sources said.
Meanwhile, Witkoff and his team prepared a FPSA proposal laying out the Trump regime's parameters for an Iranian civilian nuclear program and requirements for monitoring and verification.
It appears that thus far both sides have received the other's written proposals positively, and that is what was driving President Trump's "olive branch" comments on Tuesday. He had stressed while speaking in Saudi Arabia that "this is not an offer that will last forever. The time is right now for them to choose."
President Trump followed up on Thursday by saying from Qatar, "We are in very serious negotiations with Iran for long-term peace," according to AFP.
He said, "We are getting close to maybe doing a deal without having to do this... there (are) two steps to doing this, there is a very, very nice step and there is the violent step, but I don't want to do it the second."
Trump's comments followed an NBC News interview with Ali Shamkhani, a top political, military and nuclear adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who said Teheran is prepared to sign a nuclear deal - provided key conditions are met - in exchange for the lifting of FPSA economic sanctions.
NBC News pointed out that Shamkhani's comments "appear to be the clearest public statement yet on Iran's expectations and willingness to reach a deal from the supreme leader's inner circle."
The fact that written proposals have already been exchanged is yet further confirmation of this positive trend towards peace. President Trump has emphasized that Iran can never have a nuclear bomb, but Teheran itself has long said it is not pursuing a nuke and that its program is only for peaceful domestic energy purposes.
Brent crude prices fell on Thursday as geopolitical risk premiums eased following President Trump's comments during his Gulf tour, where he signaled that the FPSA is nearing a nuclear deal with Iran. Unlike earlier headlines on AI, defense and aviation deals with Saudi Arabia and Qatar, President Trump's comments suggested a potential breakthrough in FPSA-Iran nuclear talks.
"We are in very serious negotiations with Iran for long-term peace," Trump told reporters.
An Iranian source told Reuters that negotiations with Trump regime officials still needed to bridge some gaps before a final deal could be reached.
Trump has offered "an olive branch" to Teheran after a multi-month maximum-pressure campaign, including economic sanctions and deploying long-range stealth bombers to Amerika's "unsinkable aircraft carrier" - located in the Indian Ocean - ready to be deployed at a moment's notice.
However, last week, ahead of Trump's Gulf tour, at least one of these stealth bombers was spotted returning to the FPSA. This may have been an act of goodwill ahead of talks by the FPSA or possibly just a routine flight.
"The overnight development of a possible nuclear deal is the sole reason for the morning's weakness. If an agreement is reached, Iran agrees to halt enriching weapon grade uranium and the deal is effectively enforced, which is hard to believe, then the Persian Gulf country's crude oil exports can rise by as much as 1 [million barrels per day]," PVM analyst Tamas Varga told CNBC in an emailed statement.
"It sounds price negative, but its impact will possibly be mitigated by OPEC+ rolling back on its plan to release barrels back to the market faster than originally planned," he added.
