  1. Iranian Negotiators Leave Doha Talks Amid Efforts to Avert All-Out War

    Iranian negotiators have departed talks in Doha, though an official states a draft proposal for a deal with the U.S. is currently being circulated. Iran's top diplomat expressed hope for "rationality" from the U.S. to prevent a return to all-out war, noting that the outcome depends on U.S. answers to "Iranian questions." Tehran is considering a two-day plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. meets specific demands.

    Why it matters

    The U.S. and Iran are engaged in a war that mediators from Qatar and other Gulf leaders are attempting to de-escalate before U.S. midterms. Nuclear disputes remain a primary obstacle to a permanent agreement. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global shipping lane, making its closure a significant economic and security risk.
