The US and Iran remain without an agreement on implementing the seven-day plan: who will take the first step?

Dialogue between the United States and Iran is continuing, but the two sides have yet to reach an agreement on how and when to implement the seven-day plan.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi received Washington’s response to Tehran’s proposal in Doha. The document is expected to be reviewed in Iran, while Qatar continues its mediation efforts to bring the two sides’ positions closer together.

Sources close to the negotiations say the dispute does not concern the plan’s content, but rather the sequencing of measures and the guarantees that must be provided. The main issue remains determining which side will take the first step.

The aim of the seven-day plan is to build trust between Tehran and Washington and create the conditions for a broader agreement.

Qatar continues to express optimism about a diplomatic outcome, although US President Donald Trump has denied promising to ease sanctions or unblock Iranian funds in exchange for concessions related to the nuclear program.

Meanwhile, relations between the two countries remain tense. Iranian officials have criticized Trump, while negotiators are trying to reach an agreement that would end the conflict between Washington and Tehran, which has lasted for several months.
