Contributing sentiments towards policy:
51% : Diplomats familiar with the backchannel messaging between the US and Iran -- through Oman, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates -- say one option to improve the prospects of the talks would be for Trump to unlock $6bn of Iranian oil money held in accounts in Doha.49% : " With Trump yet to name his Iran team, Witkoff -- who is already involved in efforts to broker a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, and Washington's bid to secure the release of Israeli hostages held in Gaza -- will represent the US.
49% : "They [Iran] want to show they're on relatively equal grounds so they need to demonstrate they've extracted something from Trump," she said.
41% : Another said unfreezing the $6bn would be "critical for trust building". Sanam Vakil, director of the Middle East and north Africa programme at Chatham House think-tank, said given the scale of the gaps and distrust, much could depend on what incentives Trump may be willing to offer.
33% : The adversaries could not even agree on the format of the negotiations, with Trump saying they would be direct before Iran insisted they would be held indirectly.
30% : " Trump is thought to want a deal that would lead to Iran agreeing to dismantle its uranium enrichment programme, with a US official saying the "goal is to stop and eliminate Iran's nuclear enrichment".
28% : The JCPOA collapsed after Trump, who was deeply critical of the deal, withdrew the US in his first term and imposed hundreds of sanctions on Iran as part of a "maximum pressure" campaign.
