Iran demands sanctions relief before nuclear talks in latest proposal - Reuters

May 18, 2026, 15:05 GMT+1Updated: 18:12 GMT+1

Iran’s revised proposal to Washington calls for a permanent end to the war, sanctions relief, the release of all frozen Iranian funds and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, while leaving nuclear talks for later stages, Reuters reported citing a senior Iranian source.

The source said the US has so far agreed only to unfreeze 25% of Iran’s funds on a phased timetable but has shown flexibility over limits on Tehran’s nuclear work.
