Envoys Meet Qatar Mediators

U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner traveled to Doha for meetings with Qatari mediators as Washington and Tehran seek to advance an initial deal tied to ending the Iran war and easing tensions around the Strait of Hormuz. Qatari officials said the American delegation met or planned to meet mediators, including discussions on regional issues, but no high-level or face-to-face talks with Iranian officials were scheduled. Iran said indirect talks would resume Wednesday on unfreezing at least $6 billion in Iranian assets, underscoring that negotiations remain active despite the lack of direct U.S.-Iran contact. The diplomacy comes amid heightened regional tensions and continuing efforts to implement ceasefire-related arrangements.
