Mediator Qatar Delegation Heads to Tehran to Discuss US-Iran Interim Agreement

A Qatari delegation that has been mediating the resumption of peace talks between the United States and Iran visited the Iranian capital of Tehran late on November 2 local time to discuss a US-Iran interim agreement, Reuters reported.

An official familiar with the negotiations said, "Qatari mediators are visiting Tehran tonight to discuss an interim agreement with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi."

The official added, "Discussions are taking place on a version of a draft US-Iran agreement that has been under negotiation over the past eight days."

Earlier, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei expressed that the Iranian government could open the Strait of Hormuz within two days, provided that its demands, including the lifting of the US maritime blockade, are accepted.

Spokesperson Baghaei emphasized, "This demonstrates Iran's goodwill once again," adding, "Once our demands are met, security in the Strait of Hormuz will be restored, and the negotiation process can begin in a short period."

Foreign Minister Araghchi also stated, "We have already presented our conditions and proposals, and now everything depends on the political reasoning of the United States."

Regarding the Strait of Hormuz, the core pending issue, Araghchi emphasized, "Iran's conditions for opening the strait are entirely clear and transparent, and if the conditions are accepted, the Strait of Hormuz will reopen and negotiations will resume."
