After three weeks of conflict with Iran, the Trump administration has begun preliminary planning for potential peace talks.

Axar.az reports, citing Axios, President Trump’s advisers are laying the groundwork for diplomacy, with envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff involved in the discussions, although U.S. officials expect fighting to continue for another two to three weeks.

"Our view is we've stunted Iran's growth," said one U.S. official who believes the Iranians will come to the table. The official said the U.S. wants Iran to make six commitments:

- No missile program for five years.

- Zero uranium enrichment.

- Decommissioning of the reactors at the Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow nuclear facilities that the U.S. and Israel bombed last year.

- Strict outside observation protocols around the creation and use of centrifuges and related machinery that could advance a nuclear weapons program.

- Arms control treaties with regional countries that include a missile cap no higher than 1,000.

- No financing for proxies such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen or Hamas in Gaza.

Iran has historically rejected similar demands.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told India that normalizing the Strait of Hormuz requires the U.S. and Israel to cease attacks and commit to not resuming them. Trump, while not opposed to talks, is not currently interested in meeting Iran’s ceasefire demands and views reparations as a “non-starter.”

However, a second U.S. official noted there could be room to negotiate returning frozen assets.

Trump’s team is also determining the best Iranian contact for negotiations and the most suitable mediator. While Oman mediated prior talks, the U.S. prefers Qatar.
