Saudi media: Iran forms committees to study US proposals amid optimism over talks
Saudi media reported that Tehran has begun forming internal committees to review US proposals on the nuclear file after what was described as a "positive" message from U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, amid optimism about the course of negotiations and expectations of a possible breakthrough.
Saudi media reported on Saturday that Iran has begun forming internal committees to discuss U.S. proposals related to the nuclear file, after the message sent to Tehran was described by the media as "positive" from U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance, amid an atmosphere of optimism about the negotiations and expectations that progress could be made in the coming period.
According to sources, an Iranian delegation is in Qatar to discuss points that require further clarification, and the consultations are focusing on sequential steps to handle the proposals, while the two sides have not yet reached a comprehensive proposal that covers all the contentious issues.
The reports added that Tehran has requested guarantees that include a permanent and comprehensive halt to the war in exchange for opening the Strait of Hormuz, as part of a series of demands being discussed alongside the U.S. proposals and the nuclear track.
According to press reports, conflicting demands have emerged that are obstructing the course of the talks, after a Qatari mediation delegation held discussions in Tehran that lasted more than 12 hours. The report quoted a U.S. official saying that President Donald Trump’s administration insists on obtaining nuclear concessions from Iran to resume negotiations, while Tehran is setting conditions consisting of lifting the U.S. maritime blockade, releasing frozen funds and allowing the sale of oil.
