  "account": "US President Donald Trump is open to easing Iran sanctions and releasing frozen funds in exchange for significant progress on nuclear issues, according to a US official speaking with The Jerusalem Post. The official noted that indirect US-Iranian negotiations have been positive and constructive, yet a deal remains elusive unless the two sides address nuclear concerns. Iran has expressed flexibility on nuclear matters, but Washington and Tehran have disagreed on the initial steps and the sequence of commitments in a potential agreement, according to the official. The US is also doubtful about Iran's commitment to adhering to a deal, given the failure of a previous Memorandum of Understanding. To secure a deal, Iran must demonstrate seriousness in fulfilling its obligations and not merely seek to alleviate economic strain from US sanctions and a blockade of Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz, the official stated. Trump is maintaining patience as Qatari-mediated indirect talks continue and remains committed to preventing Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon, asserted the official.",
  "summary": "The official stated that indirect negotiations between US and Iranian officials have remained positive and constructive, but no deal will be made unless they address nuclear issues.",
