According to Israel's i24News, Qatar is awaiting Tehran's response to the new proposal, and Iran is likely to respond as early as Thursday. Two regional diplomats revealed that according to the current proposal, Iran will need to take specific measures regarding its nuclear program. In exchange, the US will ease some sanctions and unfreeze some funds. The measures currently being considered are to resume inspections of various Iranian nuclear facilities by International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors. The difficulty in the US-Iran negotiations so far is that Iran demands that the blockade be lifted and sanctions moderately relaxed before discussing the nuclear issue. The Trump administration, on the other hand, demands that Iran must act on the nuclear issue in the first phase of negotiations. A senior US official told i24News: “Under no circumstances will the US attack Iran before the midterm elections.”
