Iran: media reports suggest a US delegation is expected in Qatar for talks, and work is underway on an agreement
Potential breakthrough in negotiations between the US and Iran as talks take place in Doha
(Il Sole 24 Ore Radiocor) - A possible breakthrough in the indirect negotiations between the United States and Iran, with an American delegation expected in Doha to begin direct talks with Iranian representatives. This is reported by the Qatari daily Al-Araby Al-Jadeed and Times of Israel. The parties are said to have agreed on preliminary measures concerning Iran’s nuclear programme, navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and financial incentives for Tehran.
China and Russia are also expected to act as guarantors of any agreement. According to Axios, this outcome was achieved following a marathon negotiation session lasting over 12 hours between Qatari mediators and Iranian officials in Tehran, in an attempt to reach an understanding on the resumption of direct negotiations between the United States and Iran and to avert a military escalation following the US mid-term elections on 3 November.
