US media reveals behind-the-scenes of US-Iran agreement negotiations: three major disagreements have been narrowed down under Qatar's mediation

BlockBeats News, June 12 — According to Axios, Trump has previously claimed multiple times that an agreement is close to being reached, but Tehran has not confirmed his latest statement. However, three sources familiar with the negotiations said that during talks on Wednesday between Iranian officials and Qatari mediators, key disagreements had been resolved. The negotiations in Tehran continued until late Wednesday night, with Qatari envoy Ali Savadia and Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi working to bridge the remaining gaps between the U.S. and Iran. The sources said that both Qatar and Iran believed on Wednesday that they had reached a draft agreement acceptable to the United States.

The disagreements on three key issues have been narrowed: the mechanism for releasing Iran’s frozen assets — which is Iran’s most important issue; arrangements for reopening the Strait of Hormuz during the 60-day ceasefire period; and how to conduct negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program during the 60-day ceasefire period. The sources said that Iranian officials told multiple countries on Thursday that Tehran had reached a principled agreement, but Supreme Leader Moojtabar still needs to give final approval. (Jinshi)
