Cash Offer Could Bring End to Iran Arms Threat
Iran would be offered a cash windfall from its frozen oil revenues under a plan being explored by the West to make progress in nuclear talks this week.
It would allow Tehran to unlock some of the money held under the crippling sanctions regime if it were willing to halt all nuclear activity while more detailed negotiations continued.
The idea of repatriating a fraction of the frozen oil funds to Tehran emerged from analysis by Mark Dubowitz, an expert on Iranian sanctions, who has advised Congress, the US government and other foreign governments. The plan could be a way of giving Iran temporary relief without lifting sanctions.
