Iran and U.S. pursue indirect Doha-Tehran talks as ceasefire gaps narrow

Iranian and U.S. officials continued indirect talks through Qatari mediation in Doha and Tehran despite ongoing clashes and Iran's June 11 statement that a U.S. attack had made a ceasefire "meaningless." Axios reported that key differences were resolved and remaining disputes narrowed around Iran's frozen assets, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and how nuclear negotiations would proceed during a proposed 60-day ceasefire. CNN and other sources said talks remained on track overnight, including discussions on a preliminary agreement and mechanisms to unfreeze funds. No final deal was reported, and Axios said final approval was still needed from Supreme Leader Mojtaba.
