US-Iran Memorandum Talks Speed Up Amid Regional Escalation
Negotiations on a memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran accelerated sharply in recent hours, under Qatari and Pakistani mediation. The breakthrough came after the latest escalation over the past day and Israel’s strike in the Dahieh area.

It also proposes the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz blockade, rather than the gradual opening that had previously been set, in return for signing the memorandum and for Iran to hold its fire.
Senior Israeli officials said there had been real progress between Iran and the United States in recent hours toward a signing. “There is real progress between Iran and the United States in recent hours toward signing,” they said.
