Iran's top envoys discussing potential peace deal with Qatar prime minister, official says
Iranian officials said the draft framework could free frozen assets and open a 60-day period for nuclear talks if the sides reach a first agreement.
- On Monday, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf led a high-level Iranian delegation to Qatar, accompanied by Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, to negotiate frozen assets and issues related to the Strait of Hormuz.
- Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani met US officials earlier this month to advance negotiations, as disruptions to the Strait of Hormuz—which carries nearly one-fifth of global oil and natural gas supplies—have intensified regional pressure.
- Disagreement over frozen assets blocks progress: Iranian officials claim $12 billion while international outlets previously reported $6 billion transferred from South Korea in 2023, with the exact amount remaining the only immediate obstacle to the Memorandum of Understanding.
- President Trump rejected transferring cash to Tehran on Fox News, while the proposed 'Islamabad Declaration' would establish a 60-day ceasefire extension contingent on Hezbollah's behavior, with a US official telling Axios it would not be 'one-sided.'
- The broader deal framework includes US sanctions waivers on Iranian oil and mutual commitments not to attack regional allies, though nuclear capabilities and enriched uranium issues would remain largely under negotiation pending approval from Iran's Supreme National Council and Mojtaba Khamenei.
