US-Iran Talks Near Final Stage for Hormuz Strait Reopening
Indirect talks between the United States and Iran, mediated by Pakistan and Qatar, are nearing their final stage for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz. A document is being prepared by mediators, with Iran expected to reopen the strait in exchange for the lifting of US sanctions on Iranian ports. Key sticking points include tolls and US commitment to the JCPOA. Iran has stated that US compliance with the nuclear deal is a necessary but not sufficient condition for the strait's reopening.15 sourcesSee all sources
