Iran is reportedly exploring the possibility of offering a range of economic incentives to appeal to US President Donald Trump as nuclear negotiations with Washington progress. According to a report by the Financial Times, the discussions, mediated by Oman, are the third round of indirect talks between the US and Iran, taking place in Geneva. This development coincides with an increased military presence from the US in the Middle East, aimed at applying additional pressure on Iran.

Sources indicate that the Iranian government is contemplating a potential 'commercial bonanza' that could encompass oil, gas, and mining projects, though no formal proposals have yet been extended to the US government. A senior US official denied that any such discussions regarding these projects have occurred. The situation reflects Iran's strategic considerations in negotiating its position, especially as it looks at Venezuela as a reference point for initiating lucrative agreements with US companies after recent geopolitical shifts.

The implications of such economic proposals could be significant for both Iran and the US. If successful, Iran's efforts to woo Trump could lead to substantial changes in the geopolitical landscape, potentially easing tensions and fostering economic partnerships. However, ongoing military buildup by the US in the region indicates that the stakes remain high, and the success of these negotiations is still uncertain, particularly if they remain tied to broader discussions on nuclear capabilities and regional security.
