The release of Tehran's frozen assets, the reduction of uranium enrichment levels, and the return of international nuclear inspectors to the country are being discussed as part of diplomatic contacts between the United States and Iran, Saudi Arabia's Al Arabiya television channel reports, citing sources.
According to the sources, a joint initiative by Qatar and Pakistan has made it possible to resume serious negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
It is reported that if the parties reach an agreement, the United States may release between $6 billion and $9 billion in frozen Iranian assets.
The proposed agreement also envisages the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the immediate lifting of the naval blockade against Iran.
According to the television channel, the parties are close to reaching a preliminary understanding on allowing uranium enrichment at a level of 3.67% on Iranian territory.
"Washington has agreed to allow uranium enrichment up to 3.67% on Iranian territory, and Tehran has accepted this," the sources said.
At the same time, the United States is demanding that Iran reduce the enrichment level of uranium it has already enriched to 60%. The involvement of a third country in this process is also being discussed.
Another important issue is the return of inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to Iran.
The sources stated that preparations are underway for discussions on resuming the inspectors' activities. However, it has not yet been clarified how their authority and the scope of inspections will be determined.
