A Qatari government official said reports detailing a potential U.S.-Iran agreement were inaccurate, while confirming that Washington and Tehran were discussing terms through Qatari mediators. President Donald Trump said renewed U.S. attacks were highly unlikely if Iran advanced toward an agreement covering its nuclear programme and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, although he said military action remained available and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the talks were far from a breakthrough. Earlier reports described possible maritime, sanctions and financial concessions, including halting attacks on Gulf shipping, easing U.S. restrictions and releasing $8 billion in Iranian funds held in Qatar, but Doha did not confirm those provisions. The wider talks also involve Iran’s enriched uranium, frozen assets, sanctions relief and compensation demands, while the risk of renewed conflict remains significant.
