18. The Mehr article has nothing about an "offer"

so I'm not sure why you've put it in quotes. The mention of Trump in the article is

'Responding to questions about Trump's statements regarding the elimination of Iran's enriched uranium stockpile, Baghaei said, "At this stage, our focus is on ending the war, and we have nothing to say about details related to enrichment and Iran's enriched uranium."'

And, as we all know, Trump hasn't actually made an "offer" yet - he's held a meeting, and then said nothing (who knows why - normally he shoots his mouth off and others have to clear up).

I would say you are reading too much into an Iranian news article.
