Trump’s Iran options: “Token” nuclear enrichment to taking out Khamenei

(Barak Ravid, Marc Caputo – Axios) The Trump administration is prepared to consider a proposal that allows Iran “token” nuclear enrichment if it leaves no possible path to a bomb, a senior U.S. official told Axios. Why it matters: This suggests there could be an opening, if only a small one, between the red lines set by the U.S. and Iran for a deal to constrain Iran’s nuclear capabilities and prevent war. But at the same time, Trump has been presented with military options that involve directly targeting the supreme leader. Driving the news: U.S. officials say the bar for Iran’s forthcoming nuclear proposal is very high because the plan would have to persuade the many skeptics inside the Trump administration and in the region. – Trump’s Iran options: “Token” nuclear enrichment to taking out Khamenei
