Trump open to easing Iran sanctions for nuclear progress, official says
cnn.com —
President Donald Trump is willing to offer Iran sanctions relief and release frozen funds in exchange for "concrete progress" on a nuclear deal, a US official told CNN Monday, as mediators work to resume negotiations. The official described US-Iran discussions through mediators as "positive and constructive," but stressed no deal is possible unless nuclear issues are addressed. Trump rejected Iran's latest proposal on Saturday, calling it "unacceptable," while expecting more talks this week. US officials, including special envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, lead the talks. Skepticism persists over Iran's promises, citing Tehran's violation of a July memorandum by firing on commercial vessels.
