Iranian Negotiators Leave Doha Talks as Draft US Deal Circulates

usnews.com —

Iranian negotiators have left Doha talks with Qatari mediators aimed at ending the war with the United States, though a draft proposal is being circulated and a follow-up meeting is possible, an official said Monday. The negotiators departed Sunday, not due to difficulties, the official said. Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson said talks are based on a seven-step plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the US naval blockade, with Tehran suggesting a faster timeline under a deal. Iran's initial proposal was rejected by President Donald Trump. The diplomacy comes amid concerns of escalation after Tuesday's US midterm elections, with Trump saying he would not launch new attacks before the vote.
