๏ธ๐บ๐ธ๐ฎ๐ท Axius: US President Trump is open to easing sanctions on Iran and releasing frozen Iranian funds in exchange for concrete steps in its nuclear program.
Qatari and Pakistani mediators are holding talks with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Arakhchi in New York today, as part of efforts to reach an agreement between the US and Iran. Qatari mediators are expected to hold separate talks with senior Trump administration officials later today or Tuesday.
The indirect talks have been "positive and constructive," and Iran has shown flexibility on nuclear issues, though the two sides remain divided over the timing of commitments and which side should move first. Washington is seeking assurances that Iran will comply with any agreement, according to a US official.
