Iranian sources: US withdrew demands, deal approval seen as likely

Primary source Internal intake · 3 reviewed intake signals · Desk window 22:32

TL;DR

Iranian sources report that the United States has withdrawn its additional demands, making approval of the agreement highly likely, according to reports. The development follows conflicting signals in recent days over the status of US-Iran talks. No official confirmation has been published yet.

01 · THE DISPATCH

The bulletin reports Iranian sources stating that the US has withdrawn its additional demands, with a high likelihood that the deal will be approved. This follows a thread The Zioneer has tracked throughout the evening: at 22:22 Jerusalem, Iranian sources assessed a deal was near with no official confirmation; at 22:24, Iran's state news agency reported a high likelihood of approval, alongside President Trump's scheduled call with Prime Minister Netanyahu. Fars News Agency later reported (at 22:30) that the US had accepted Tehran's original draft text after Trump added demands two weeks ago. The current report appears to align with that trajectory, though it remains attributed to Iranian sources with no independent corroboration. The broader context includes days of conflicting signals — Axios reported on an 'in-principle' MOU needing Mojtaba Khamenei's approval, while earlier Iranian sources had said US changes made a deal impossible. The assessment remains developing until an official announcement.
