Qatar\u2019s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani is hosting the sessions. Pakistan, which brokered a fragile ceasefire in early April 2026, continues to serve as the primary mediator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNegotiations with the Islamic Republic of Iran are proceeding nicely! It will only be a Great Deal for all or, no Deal at all \u2014 Back to the Battlefront and shooting, but bigger and stronger than ever before \u2014 And nobody wants that,\u201d U.S. President Donald Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/116635193825443617\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">wrote<\/a> on Truth Social Monday morning.<\/p>\n<p>The conflict between the United States and Iran began with U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran around Feb. 28, 2026. The ceasefire that followed left core disputes unresolved, and both delegations described Sunday\u2019s meeting as an ongoing process rather than a final settlement.<\/p>\n<p>Two issues dominate the talks. The first is Iran\u2019s stockpile of highly enriched uranium, which the U.S. has demanded be capped or transferred as a baseline condition. The second is control of the Strait of Hormuz, through which roughly 20% of the world\u2019s oil supply passes.<\/p>\n<p>Iran has signaled some flexibility on reopening the Strait, potentially under Omani coordination, but has pushed to defer deeper nuclear discussions to a later phase. Washington has held firm on the HEU question.<\/p>\n<p>Also on the table: the release of approximately $12 billion in frozen Iranian assets held in Qatari banks, sanctions relief, and a possible 60-day ceasefire extension. Markets responded to the positive signals from Doha. Brent crude dropped roughly 4% to 6% on the day, trading near $95 to $97 per barrel, as traders priced in the possibility of restored shipping flows through the Strait.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/get-started\/a-quick-introduction-to-crypto\/\" class=\"lar_link lar_link_outgoing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Crypto<\/a> markets moved with equities.

Progress has been described by officials close to the talks as \u201cnarrowing differences,\u201d though trust between the two sides remains low. Both delegations have managed expectations heading into the session.<\/p>\n<p>Risks remain. Hardline elements within Iran, including factions tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IGC), have previously opposed concessions. Israel has also raised objections to terms that do not fully neutralize Iran\u2019s nuclear capacity.<\/p>\n<p>Qatar\u2019s role as both a U.S. defense partner and Iran interlocutor has placed it at the center of Gulf diplomacy this year. Saudi Arabia and Oman have provided coordination support alongside Pakistan\u2019s continued mediation.<\/p>\n<p>The IAEA has flagged Iran\u2019s military-grade enrichment levels in recent reports, and the HEU stockpile remains the hardest point for any agreement to clear. How the two sides handle that issue will shape whether the 60-day ceasefire holds or collapses.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/iran-diplomats-push-peace-talks-in-doha-as-bitcoin-holds-77700-and-oil-drops-6\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Iranian negotiators including Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Doha on May 25, 2026, for U.S. peace talks.
