From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Iran yesterday proposed changes to a UN-drafted nuclear fuel deal, making demands that appeared to challenge the basis of the agreement with the United States, France and Russia, Iranian media said.

The Iranian pro-government daily Javan said in an unsourced report that Iran wanted shipments of low-enriched uranium (LEU) – which will be converted abroad into fuel for a Tehran research reactor – to take place in stages, not in a single consignment as the agreement prescribed.

The conditions were probably unacceptable for Western powers, which suspect the Islamic Republic covertly seeks nuclear arms capability, despite Tehran's denials.
