Both parties to the conflict are presented separately, followed by a factual neutral assessment.

Iranian account

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran and Qatar had developed a proposal under which the Strait of Hormuz could reopen within two days of an agreement with Washington. Tehran still wants US answers to Iranian conditions.

U.S. account

US President Donald Trump said publicly that talks were going well without accepting a deal. Washington is keeping military options open, and no confirmed final US response to the Iranian proposal was initially available.

Neutral editorial assessment

AP and Reuters confirm a third day of Qatar-mediated talks and the stated two-day mechanism. This is a concrete diplomatic development, but not yet an agreement: conditions, sequencing and security guarantees remain unresolved.
