Nuclear offer from Iran to the USA via Qatar: "Negotiable can be done when 7 demands are met"

Within the scope of ongoing indirect negotiations with the USA, Iran conveyed its new offer regarding its nuclear program to the Washington administration through Qatar.

A senior Iranian official told Reuters that the offer could only be negotiated after the United States meets seven demands put forward by Tehran.

The official also said that the Washington administration is examining Iran's nuclear offer. No information was shared regarding the technical details of the offer.

WHAT ARE TEHRAN'S CONDITIONS?

The conditions previously announced by the Tehran administration include the US lifting the naval blockade of Iranian ports, easing sanctions on Iranian oil and the release of frozen Iranian assets.

Tehran also wants confirmation that the United States has fulfilled its commitments before starting negotiations on its nuclear program.

Washington, on the other hand, argues that Iran's nuclear program should be addressed from the beginning of the negotiations.

NEGOTIATIONS CONTINUE UNDER QATAR MEDIATION

Qatar's mediation attempts in indirect negotiations between Iran and the USA have intensified in recent days.

According to Reuters reported on November 2, Iranian negotiators completed their contacts in Doha without reaching an agreement. In addition, the draft agreement prepared during the negotiations was put into circulation between the parties.

The Qatari delegation also went to Tehran on the same day and met with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakchi. During the meetings, the draft agreement being worked on between the USA and Iran to end the war was discussed.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Ismail Bekayi announced that the previously prepared seven-stage plan continues to form the basis of the negotiations.

Bekayi stated that the plan, which initially envisaged a seven-day calendar, could be rearranged to be implemented in two days.

THE STRAIT OF HORmuz IS AT THE CENTER OF THE CRISIS

Following the war launched by the USA and Israel against Iran on February 28, maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz was seriously disrupted. The US blockade of Iranian ports and attacks on commercial ships in the region caused fluctuations in global energy markets.

Iran requires the United States to take concrete steps regarding sanctions and blockade in order to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to normal maritime traffic.

In return, Washington wants a comprehensive agreement that includes the future of Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpile.
