Iran and the US are on the verge of an agreement that will deal with the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the extension of the ceasefire. According to sources familiar with the matter - Qatar will be involved in the release of Iranian funds | @gilicohen10 with the details #HereNewsEdition with @TaliMoreno_
I reported in the Kan News edition: Iran and the US are on the verge of an agreement that will lead to the lifting of the naval blockade of Hormuz and the beginning of the lifting of sanctions and the release of Iran's trapped funds. In the second phase of the agreement, the parties are expected to reach another, much more extensive agreement that will deal with nuclear - and the removal of enriched material from Iranian soil. According to sources familiar with the matter - Qatar, and possibly other Gulf countries - will play a very significant role in the agreement and its implementation. Qatar is supposed to take part in the renewed transfer of funds to Iran. According to another source, Trump wants Qatar to also be part of the guarantor for the renewed nuclear agreement. US Senator Lindsey Graham tweeted that Trump is initiating a much broader move, according to which Qatar, but also Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, will be part of the Abraham Accords as part of establishing new agreements in the region. The Saudis have demanded in all the talks that there was a breakthrough on the Palestinian issue. It is doubtful whether this deadline during an election period allows for such a thing.

Qatar, Kuwait Discuss Iran Mediation Efforts in Phone Call • • Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister held a phone conversation with his Kuwaiti counterpart to discuss Pakistan’s mediation efforts between Washington and Iran to strengthen regional security and stability.
Among the various elements reportedly included in the possible Iran-US understanding is also the issue of frozen Iranian assets. • • - According to Iranian sources, Tehran has insisted that at least part of these funds must be released already in the first phase of any preliminary understanding, and in a way that guarantees actual Iranian access to the money (Qatar has a role here). • • - Iranian media say Tehran rejected attempts to link the release of the assets only to a future final nuclear agreement, arguing that previous experiences of sanctions relief promises not being implemented have created deep mistrust. • • - The broader mechanism for the release of the remaining funds would reportedly also have to be clarified during the negotiations themselves. • • #Iran #IranWar

Qatar is mediating through multiple channels to ease tensions and de-escalate tensions between Iran and the United States.
Qatar is actively mediating to ensure the success of the agreement between the United States and Iran. D8%B7%D8%A9-%D9%88%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D9%88%D8%B5%D9%84-%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AA%D9%81%D8%A7%D9%82-%D8%A8%D9%8A%D9%86-%D8%A3%D9%85%D9%8A%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%A7-%D9%88%D8%A5%D9%8A%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%86
[#US Secretary of State Discusses US-Iran Agreement with Qatari Prime Minister#] According to CCTV News, the US State Department issued a statement on the 9th, saying that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Salman that day. The purpose of the meeting was to promote an agreement between the US and Iran to end the war. Rubio expressed his gratitude for Qatar's cooperation on several issues. The two sides also discussed US support for Qatar's defense. Sources said the meeting was held in Miami, Florida, and US Presidential Envoy Witkov also attended. The meeting was reportedly a luncheon and lasted about an hour. Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman met with US Vice President Vance at the White House the previous day. He originally planned to return home immediately but changed his itinerary and went to Miami instead. Sources said that during his time in Miami, Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman called the Saudi Arabian Foreign Minister to discuss the current mediation efforts. Currently, Qatar, Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia are working together to urge the US and Iran to de-escalate the situation and jointly promote an agreement. The US and Iran are negotiating a one-page memorandum of understanding, and Qatar is playing a key role in mediating. As of the afternoon of the 9th local time, the US was still waiting for Iran's response to the US proposal.
From what is gradually emerging, Qatar’s role in the Iran-US talks now appears to be complementing that of the so-called “quartet” (Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey) which launched the broader Islamabad process and met in the Pakistani capital on March 29. • • - Tehran may have encouraged a greater role for Doha in order to diversify the mediation architecture. While Islamabad still appears to remain the main intermediary and the key backchannel with Washington, some Iranian circles reportedly became uneasy with perceptions that Islamabad was becoming too closely aligned with Trump and his entourage. • • - Expanding Qatar’s role would therefore allow Tehran to maintain the Pakistani channel while • multiplying additional channels into the US administration. • • - This also fits a broader regional logic. Alongside Oman, Qatar has long served as one of Tehran’s preferred interlocutors in the Persian Gulf on sensitive regional issues. And while Iran still values its strategic relationship with Pakistan, it simultaneously needs to repair and rebalance ties with the Arabs of the Persian Gulf after the war. Doha is well positioned to facilitate that process. • • - Seen in this context, Tehran’s decision to reportedly authorize today the passage of a Qatari LNG tanker through the Strait of Hormuz may not be accidental. And perhaps it is not entirely coincidental that the LNG shipment was reportedly destined for Pakistan itself. • • #Iran #IranWar
