Iran reviews Qatari proposals on nuclear program amid US tensions

Iran is reviewing Qatari proposals to address differences with the United States over its nuclear program, raising hopes for indirect talks, though Tehran remains unwilling to negotiate until core conditions are met. The proposals include trust-building measures such as lifting the U.S. blockade and releasing frozen funds in exchange for IAEA inspections, with talks on enriched uranium to follow. Officials stressed Iran demands sanctions relief, compensation, and an end to regional hostilities before nuclear negotiations. The diplomatic push follows Republican losses in Tuesday's midterm elections, partly attributed to voter dissatisfaction with Trump's handling of the conflict. Iran holds 440.9 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% purity, near weapons-grade levels.
