Iran and Qatar hold third day of talks to end US-Iran war

Iranian negotiators held a third day of talks with Qatari mediators in Doha on Sunday to seek a deal ending the US-Israeli war on Iran, an official briefed on the discussions told Reuters. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said the "ongoing and progressing" talks aimed to continue consultations, adding Tehran is prepared for "both defence and diplomacy." Discussions on a "two-day proposal" were continuing, but no final conclusion had been reached. The proposal, developed with Qatari negotiators, would reopen the Strait of Hormuz within two days of a potential agreement with Washington. Iran has threatened to strike US and Israeli targets if attacked, as the eight-month war disrupts global oil supplies.
