The Qataris are waiting for an answer from Tehran, which may come as early as tomorrow, for a new proposal in which they will take a certain step in the nuclear field - and in return there will be an easing of sanctions, and possibly a thawing of funds, so 2 regional diplomats tell i24NEWS. The step being considered is the return of the inspectors of the Atomic Energy Agency to the various nuclear sites. On Tuesday, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Raphael Grossi, briefed the members of the Security Council and said that only the return of the inspectors to the field will be able to give an accurate picture of the state of the Iranian nuclear program.
The difficulty in negotiations between the US and Iran so far stems from the Iranian demand to lift the blockade, a certain relief in sanctions and only then talk about the nuclear. The Trump administration demands that there be a step on the nuclear issue already in the first stage.
A senior American told i24NEWS: The United States will not attack Iran at any stage before the midterm elections.
