The U.S. and Iran are negotiating a three-page plan to end the war, including a
proposal for the U.S. to release $20 billion in frozen Iranian funds in exchange
for Iran giving up its enriched uranium stockpile, according to U.S. officials
and sources. Donald Trump said negotiators may meet this weekend in Islamabad
for a second round of talks. Earlier proposals ranged from $6 billion for
humanitarian use to Iran’s demand for $27 billion. The U.S. has also sought
removal of all nuclear material, while Iran proposed domestic down-blending; a
compromise under discussion includes partial transfer to a third country and
monitored reductions. Disagreement remains over a nuclear moratorium, with the
U.S. seeking 20 years and Iran offering five. The draft also allows civilian
nuclear research under restrictions and addresses the Strait of Hormuz, while
key gaps persist.
