Iran is reviewing proposals put forward by Qatar to address disagreements with the United States concerning its nuclear program, according to two Middle East government officials. These proposals are seen as potentially paving the way for indirect talks on the issue. However, one official noted that Iran currently remains unwilling to engage in negotiations with the Trump administration on its atomic activities until the U.S. meets several core conditions. The proposals, presented by Qatari mediators, reportedly include trust-building measures. These are said to involve lifting the U.S. blockade on Iran's ports, releasing billions of dollars in frozen Iranian funds, and permitting International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors access to sites. In return, Iran would temporarily reopen the Strait of Hormuz under a modified agreement. Following these measures, the U.S. and Iran would begin extensive discussions on Iran's uranium stockpile and other aspects of its nuclear program. Iran has consistently maintained that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. ## Disagreement on conditions for talks CTV News reported that Iran insists on concessions from the U.S. before engaging in nuclear talks. These demands include ending the U.S. blockade on Iran's ports, lifting sanctions, unfreezing its assets, issuing compensation for war damage, and ending hostilities throughout the region.
