Iran reviews Qatari proposals to resolve nuclear standoff with US

Iran is reviewing Qatari proposals to resolve nuclear differences with the US, raising hopes for indirect talks, though Tehran demands conditions like lifting sanctions before negotiations. Officials confirmed the development Friday. The bridge deal proposes trust-building measures over two days, including lifting the US blockade and releasing frozen funds in exchange for IAEA access to bombed sites and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Iran holds 440.9 kg of uranium enriched to 60 percent purity. Diplomatic efforts intensified after Trump's Republican losses in Tuesday's midterm elections, partly driven by war dissatisfaction and fuel prices. Regional calls between Qatari, Iranian, Egyptian, and other officials aim to prevent further escalation, though Trump insists military control remains.
