United States has reportedly agreed in its latest negotiation proposal to temporarily waive oil sanctions on Iran during the ongoing negotiation period, according to a source close to the talks cited by Tasnim News Agency.
The report said the latest US proposal differs from previous negotiation texts by including a temporary sanctions waiver linked to Iran’s oil exports. The waiver would reportedly be implemented through the US Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) until a final agreement is reached between both sides.
According to the report, Iran has continued insisting that the complete removal of all sanctions must form part of Washington’s commitments in any broader agreement involving Tehran’s nuclear programme and regional issues.
However, the United States has reportedly proposed only a temporary easing mechanism rather than full sanctions removal at this stage of negotiations.
The development comes amid ongoing indirect diplomatic contacts between Washington and Tehran over Iran’s nuclear activities, sanctions relief and regional security concerns in West Asia. Negotiations have intensified in recent weeks following heightened tensions involving the Strait of Hormuz, maritime security concerns and military rhetoric from both sides.
Iranian officials have repeatedly stated that uranium enrichment and nuclear technology remain non-negotiable sovereign rights, while the US has continued demanding stronger guarantees regarding Iran’s nuclear programme.
No official confirmation regarding the reported proposal has yet been issued publicly by the White House or the US State Department. Similarly, Iranian authorities have not released detailed official documents regarding the reported OFAC waiver proposal.
Global oil markets and diplomatic observers are closely monitoring the negotiations because any sanctions relief involving Iranian oil exports could significantly affect international energy prices and regional economic dynamics.
The talks remain sensitive as both sides continue exchanging proposals through indirect diplomatic channels involving regional intermediaries.
