U.S.-Iran talks accelerate under Qatar and Pakistan mediation amid regional escalation
Negotiations over a memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran accelerated in recent hours, with Qatar and Pakistan acting as mediators. The progress came after the latest escalation in the region and the Israeli strike in the Dahieh neighborhood.
According to the report, the Trump administration is trying to link the talks to reducing the chance of further escalation. Washington’s goal is to prevent an Iranian attack on Israel in exchange for concessions to Tehran.
The American proposal includes economic relief for Iran, including money or other financial benefits. It also calls for the immediate reopening of the Strait of Hormuz blockade, rather than the gradual reopening previously planned, if Iran signs the memorandum and holds fire.
Senior Israeli officials said there had been real progress in the last few hours toward an agreement. One of them said, "יש התקדמות ממשית בין איראן לארצות הברית בשעות האחרונות לקראת חתימה".
