Iran has expressed readiness to discuss previously unaddressed issues related to its nuclear programme, raising the possibility of progress in efforts to end the war with the United States.
According to Bloomberg, a diplomat familiar with the negotiations said Iran was closely reviewing proposals put forward by Qatar.
The diplomat spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the discussions.
The proposals reportedly include issues related to Iran’s nuclear activities that were not previously part of the negotiating agenda.
Bloomberg reported that any concessions by Tehran on these matters could mark a significant step forward in the negotiations.
Trump Holds Talks with Qatar’s Emir
US President Donald Trump recently held a telephone conversation with Qatar’s Emir as part of efforts to reduce tensions in the region.
The contact highlights ongoing diplomatic efforts to find a way to end the conflict, according to Bloomberg’s report.
Trump has repeatedly said that preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons was the main objective of the war.
Iran, however, has consistently maintained that its nuclear programme is intended for peaceful and civilian purposes.
Any Iranian commitment to greater transparency over its nuclear activities could help advance the peace process.
However, the outcome of the proposed discussions remains uncertain.
