What happened
Qatari mediators are attempting to persuade Iran to allow United Nations inspectors to visit its nuclear sites to defuse tensions with the United States and Israel. According to reports, the US and Israel are likely to launch new strikes targeting Iran's leadership, energy, and nuclear sites unless a last-minute deal is reached. Iran could receive sanctions relief in exchange for nuclear concessions.
