So what exactly are the Americans proposing to Iran regarding uranium enrichment, and why is it not working so far?
According to foreign reports, the US is proposing to establish a kind of multinational corporation that will enrich uranium for several countries in the Middle East that are interested in a civilian nuclear program (for example, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and perhaps Turkey and Egypt). The member states will be the joint owners of the corporation, and thus Iran will be able to exercise the right it strongly demands - to enrich uranium itself and not purchase it from an external party.
However, the enrichment will not be carried out in Iran, but in another country, under American and international supervision (IAEA). This will make it possible to ensure that the enrichment plant only produces nuclear fuel rods at a level of up to 3.67%, which is required to operate civilian reactors and no more.
In theory, these rods could also be converted into weapons-grade plutonium, but that would require the construction of an infrastructure no less complex than centrifuge plants—something Iran would not be able to build in secret.
These are exactly the kind of “squaring the circle” solutions that Steve Witkoff likes, and the truth is that they even sound like a reasonable solution to the uranium enrichment issue (let’s leave aside for a moment other critical issues like the nuclear warhead, the ballistic missile program, and the financing of Iranian proxies, which must also be included in the agreement).
But that is precisely the problem with this solution: Iran is not interested in a reasonable solution that would allow it to operate a civilian nuclear program, but in a flawed solution that would allow it to continue moving toward nuclear weapons, and so it currently appears to be rejecting it.
And if that is indeed the case at the end of the negotiations, that would be excellent from Israel’s perspective.

Because the IAEA has done such a good job of oversight up until now?
They are the enablers that got us where we are today.
I wouldn’t let them in an HOA meeting, let alone oversight of Iran’s nuclear ops. (again)
Trump should have gotten a Nobel Peace Prize for the Abraham Accords during his first administration. If this deal works out, the Nobel Prize committee will look really, really, really bad if it denies Trump this time around.
O’Bummer got it for doing nothing.
The wisdom of building nuclear power plants in desert regions needs to be considered more soberly. That is in addition to considering how incompetent Muslims are at managing dangerous things. It wasn’t too long ago that vast store of fertilizer exploded in a warehouse managed by Lebanon’s port authority. Saudi Arabia buys a lot of military equipment because it is incompetent to perform maintenance on what it has, and some prince gets a commission on those contracts. What could go wrong with this plan?
The left: If we utilize solar in all desert areas we could power the entire world.
Also the left: Iran should be able to build nuclear power for their civilian needs.
It’s beyond time to unleash the Kraken and MOAB these peckers. The “death to America” chant has to have a day of reckoning.
It was a DEI award.
Worse. He was nominated for it 3 weeks before he even took office.
Made sense then, makes sense now.
Classic Trump move. He knows Iran wants nuclear weapons, but is giving them a chance to re-enter the civilized world, by offering them a deal that would help them economically, but would keep them from gaining enriched uranium to build a bomb. If they accept the deal great and if they reject it, then he can further isolate and punish Iran.
Seeing other reports that the deal specifies a "Gulf island under Iranian sovereignty but subject to enhanced international oversight".
Also seeing reports that Iran has indicated it will reject the deal. Obviously, the Trump team has put a lot of diplomatic effort into this, securing multiple partners for the consortium, and going out on a limb to offer Iran legitimacy among nations. Turning this deal down means Iran is dead set on acquiring nuclear weapons, and that gives Israel little choice. Act or face nuclear attack.
Indeed.. I concur with your analysis but I would add that it also puts USA “FRiends” on notice that any support perceived or real with Iran could affect the relationship they have with the 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸
