Iran is examining proposals from Qatar, the main mediator, aimed at bridging differences with the US over its nuclear programme, Reuters reports, citing two Middle Eastern sources on Friday 6 November, as relayed by Newsbeep.
Bloomberg, also cited by Newsbeep, quotes a diplomat familiar with the talks as saying Tehran is showing a willingness to discuss nuclear issues it had previously refused to negotiate.
The New York Times, as cited by World Israel News, reports that five officials described "concrete proposals" on the nuclear programme under consideration in Qatari-mediated talks in Doha. One of the officials is American and two are Iranian. The report gives no detail of what the proposals contain. Qatari representatives are also said to have met Iranian officials in Armenia.
If accurate, the reports would mark a shift from Tehran's public position, according to Newsbeep, which is that nuclear talks can begin only after the war ends. Trump insists the nuclear issue must be part of any deal. None of the reports has been independently checked.
The reports follow Axios's account of Vice President JD Vance's role in indirect talks with Iran, and Qatar's denial that negotiations had failed.
