U.S. President Donald Trump is willing to consider easing sanctions on Iran and releasing frozen funds if negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program produce what he described as "concrete progress," according to Al Jazeera, as cited by BlockBeats on Sept. 29. A U.S. official said Washington and Tehran are holding "positive and constructive" discussions through intermediaries, but no deal will be reached if the nuclear issue remains unresolved. The same official said Iran has shown some flexibility on the nuclear file, though the two sides have not agreed on when any commitments would be carried out. Trump had earlier rejected Iran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, calling it "unacceptable," and said more talks with Iran are expected this week. On the U.S. side, the negotiations are being led by Middle East envoy Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Rubio. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz said Trump remains skeptical of Tehran’s proposal, arguing that Iran wants all conditions granted up front before further negotiations.

A U.S. official said the United States and Iran are holding "positive and constructive" talks through intermediaries. But the official also said there will be no deal if the nuclear issue stays unresolved. The same official said Iran has shown some flexibility on the nuclear question, though the two sides still have not settled on a timeline for carrying out related commitments.
Trump had earlier turned down Iran’s proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, calling the plan "unacceptable." And he said more talks with Iran are expected this week.
The report said Middle East envoy Witkoff, Jared Kushner, Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are leading the U.S. negotiating team. Mike Waltz, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said Trump is doubtful about the Iranian proposal and thinks Tehran wants to lock in all of its conditions first before any further negotiations happen.
White House officials also said Washington is still wary of Iranian commitments. Their point: Iran had earlier broken the U.S.-Iran memorandum of understanding reached in July and attacked commercial vessels.
