An official in the Gulf state told NOW that Qatari mediators are working on a deal in which both Iran and the United States would make a series of concessions over a five-day series, including Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz and the United States lifting its naval blockade of Iranian ports. The main roadblocks to this deal are when each side will make its own concessions, and Qatari mediators pushing for a concession on the Iranian nuclear program that the Iranian negotiators are rejecting.
