Iran and the United States conclude a round of indirect talks in Doha without clear signs of progress toward a lasting peace, according to multiple reports. The discussions center on items the countries say were already addressed under an interim understanding reached earlier, rather than new, broader terms. Sources familiar with the talks say negotiators spend two days in Doha focusing on two main pillars: maritime traffic and security in the Strait of Hormuz, and steps related to unfreezing Iran’s funds. Some reporting also links the discussions to work on a memorandum that halted the war in June and to outcomes from a prior summit in Switzerland. Iran’s internal timetable is also reflected in reporting: the next meeting is expected after funeral processions for Iran’s late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, due for burial on July 9, Qatar’s foreign ministry said. Separately, U.S. President Donald Trump says the two sides are making progress on potential limits on Iran’s nuclear program, which he cites as a central issue behind the conflict’s start.
