An informed source revealed that ongoing indirect negotiations between Iran and the US, mediated by Pakistan, are characterized by caution and pessimism regarding the US administration. Disagreements persist on key issues, and Iran remains distrustful of Washington's commitment to any potential agreement.
Iran has stressed that any preliminary understanding with the US is contingent on the release of its frozen assets, with a portion to be accessible immediately. The proposed deal also includes lifting oil sanctions and ending the war on all fronts, including Lebanon, with specific timelines for maritime blockade and nuclear negotiations.
A potential interim understanding between Iran and the US involves asset releases tied to nuclear talks. Iran insists on partial immediate release and a clear mechanism for the rest. Sanctions relief on oil sales is also discussed. The deal may include ending conflicts, with specific timelines for naval blockade and nuclear negotiations, and a nuanced approach to the Hormuz Strait's status.
