Iran reviews Qatari nuclear proposals, raising hopes for US talks

Iran is reportedly considering concessions on its nuclear program, potentially reviving stalled peace talks with the US. Tehran is reviewing Qatari-mediated proposals on nuclear activities, according to a diplomat familiar with the negotiations. Any willingness by Iran to offer greater transparency could help restart negotiations, which have been stalled since an interim agreement collapsed in June. US President Donald Trump discussed bridging differences with Qatar's Emir in a phone call, while Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi contacted regional counterparts. The war began in late February when the US and Israel attacked Iran, with Tehran retaliating against American allies. Trump has cited preventing Iranian nuclear weapons as the campaign's primary objective, though Iran insists its program is peaceful. Diplomatic efforts follow US midterm elections, with Trump indicating no immediate plans for fresh strikes.
