WASHINGTON (Reuters) - US President Donald Trump has impressed foreign officials, members of his administration and others involved in Iran's nuclear negotiations that he is seriously considering a French proposal to provide a $ 15 billion credit line to Iranians if Tehran returns to comply with a nuclear deal, a news report said on Monday. It was reached under his predecessor, Barack Obama, while Iranian President Hassan Rouhani told his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron in a telephone conversation that there was "no meaning" to talks with the United States unless its sanctions were lifted.

In detail, the Daily Beast quoted four sources, who it described as familiar with the president's talks with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, that Trump has shown in recent weeks an openness to accepting a plan presented by Macron in this regard. Two sources said US State Department officials, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, were also open to studying the French proposal under which the Paris government would effectively ease the Trump administration's economic sanctions regime over Tehran a year ago. The Daily Best said France's proposal would compensate Iran for oil sales that have been disrupted by US sanctions.

Much of Iran's economy depends on oil export revenues. Most of the money is frozen in bank accounts around the world because of US sanctions.

The $ 15 billion credit line is proposed to guarantee Iranian oil.

In return for making the money available, Iran will have to return to compliance with the nuclear deal it signed with world powers in 2015.

Tehran will also have to agree not to threaten Gulf security or obstruct maritime navigation in the region.

The sources pointed out that although Trump has not agreed to any of this so far, he has been willing to cooperate on such a proposal more than once over the past month.

Trump warned Iran yesterday that its uranium enrichment would be "very dangerous," while his position remained ambiguous on the sensitive issue of possible lifting of sanctions in preparation for a meeting with his counterpart Hassan Rouhani.

"We cannot allow Iran to have nuclear weapons," Trump said in the Oval Office. "Enrichment will be very dangerous for her." Asked about a possible partial lifting of sanctions, Trump replied: "We'll see, we'll see."

In contrast, Rouhani told Macron that "Iran government, parliament and people believe that there is no sense and no concept to negotiate with America at a time when the ban measures are still in place," according to the website of the government and the agency «IRNA». "If a final agreement is reached with Europe, we are ready to return to our nuclear obligations," he said. "The meeting of Iran and the P5 + 1 is only possible if the ban is lifted in all its forms."
