The Gulf countries are working on a broad peace agreement to prevent a renewed war between the US and Iran, the "Guardian" reports. At the center of the plan is the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz within four days after the lifting of sanctions on Iran and a significant retreat of the Houthi fighters deeper into Yemen. The US has been informed of the progress of the talks but is demanding concessions. European countries offer to allow UN inspectors to enter Iran's nuclear facilities. Tehran refuses for now, focusing only on promises that the sanctions will be lifted.
