Overview
- Mediators from Qatar and Pakistan said negotiators in Doha made “positive progress,” with the next indirect US–Iran round now set to resume after Iran’s multi‑day funerals for Ali Khamenei.
- Iranian officials discussed conditional access to roughly $6 billion held in Qatar to let Tehran buy basic goods, but precise release conditions remain unresolved.
- The United States and Iran reportedly agreed to a temporary one‑week calm in the Strait of Hormuz to halt missile activity and allow talks to continue in a lower‑risk environment.
- Tehran’s negotiators said they reached an Oman‑linked navigation mechanism for Hormuz, yet disputes persist over fees, enforcement and who will police the route.
- Core disagreements over IAEA access to sites hit in earlier strikes and Iran’s insistence on civilian enrichment rights remain open, leaving the 60‑day memorandum’s practical limits unfinished and negotiations at risk of extending past mid‑July.
