🔸Following a trip by a Qatari delegation to Iran on Sunday, The New York Times, citing two informed diplomats, reported that Qatar is working on a deal between the United States and Iran under which the two sides would exchange concessions over a five-day period, related to reopening the Strait of Hormuz and lifting the blockade and the nuclear program.

🔸According to the report, published on Monday, 4 Aban, said the diplomats whose names were not disclosed, the proposed agreement would include Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for the lifting of the United States’ naval blockade.

🔸These diplomats told The New York Times that the main obstacle in the path of this agreement is setting the timeline for the delivery of concessions by each of the two parties. They also said that the mediators are trying to persuade Iran to offer a concession regarding its nuclear program as part of the first stage of the deal.

🔸Radio Farda is not able to independently verify this report, and The New York Times has not provided further details on the matter.

🔸Esmail Baghaei, a spokesperson for Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, confirmed the trip of Qatari mediators to Tehran on Monday.
