On July 2, Iran and the United States concluded a round of indirect negotiations on Wednesday, with no signs of progress towards achieving lasting peace. Instead, the focus was on issues that both sides claimed to have resolved when they announced a temporary agreement two weeks prior. According to Reuters, sources familiar with the discussions stated that the negotiating representatives from both countries spent two days in Doha discussing maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz and the unfreezing of Iranian funds, which are two key topics under the preliminary agreement. The Qatari Foreign Ministry announced that the next meeting would take place after the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, scheduled for July 9. In Washington, President Trump indicated that progress was being made regarding the limitation of Iran's nuclear program. 'Iran's denuclearization is progressing well,' he told reporters, 'they had a very good meeting, and we are watching closely.' However, sources noted that the nuclear program issue was not addressed during the negotiations, which were essentially technical in nature.
