Iran Pursues Interim US Agreement to Ease Economic Strain
Iran is negotiating a limited, temporary deal with the United States to relieve mounting economic pressure without making major concessions on its nuclear programme. Sources close to Iranian decision-makers say the goal is to buy time, unlock financial relief and stabilise the domestic economy amid regional tensions. The push for a narrow agreement comes after weeks of escalation following US-Israeli strikes and Iranian retaliatory attacks in the Gulf. Both sides now appear to favour a short-term memorandum that defers core nuclear disputes while preventing a return to open conflict. Analysts note this familiar strategy allows Iran to absorb pressure, keep negotiations alive and avoid irreversible compromises. For Washington, an interim deal could help calm oil markets and reduce the risk of further hostilities around the Strait of Hormuz.
