Axios: Trump will meet today with the Prime Minister of Qatar regarding the ceasefire and the resumption of nuclear negotiations with Iran.
The Axios news site reported, citing knowledgeable sources, that the President of the United States, Donald Trump, will talk with the Prime Minister of Qatar, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, about achieving a new ceasefire and resuming the nuclear negotiations with Iran.
According to Axios, the Qatari prime minister is expected to meet with US Vice President JD Vance separately before the meeting with Trump. For the past two weeks, Vance has spoken with al-Thani almost daily about indirect talks with Iran.
Sources familiar with the matter say Trump is still willing to give time to diplomatic efforts, but it is unclear how long that opportunity will last. The Prime Minister of Qatar will also try to convince him to devote more time to diplomacy.
According to the proposed plan, on the first day, the US will lift the naval blockade of Iran and release some of Tehran's blocked assets, and Iran will also provide the pretext for visits to bombed nuclear facilities by IAEA inspectors.
On the second day, the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened and the nuclear talks will resume, focusing on Iran's highly enriched uranium reserves.
The mid-term elections in the US slowed down the indirect negotiation process. Abbas Arakhchi announced that Tehran is still waiting for Washington's response to its latest Jamaran offer.
