What happened

Well supportedReported by 55 independent outlets

Qatar, Switzerland, and Cassis hosted diplomatic talks, with Qatar supporting US-Iran peace negotiations. Abbas Araghchi, Iran's Foreign Minister, conveyed a plan to the US via Qatar that would allow the Strait of Hormuz to reopen to maritime navigation within seven days of an agreement. This plan reportedly includes a seven-day cessation of hostilities in the Middle East, the release of frozen Iranian assets estimated at $12 billion, and the lifting of sanctions on Iranian oil. Sources also noted that Switzerland is a likely venue for future US-Iran negotiations.
