U.S. and Iran Continue Indirect Talks as Deal Terms Remain Disputed

The United States and Iran are continuing separate discussions with mediators in an effort to end the war, according to Reuters, as negotiators seek common ground despite unresolved disputes over the terms of a possible agreement.

President Donald Trump has rejected Tehran’s latest proposal, described by Yahoo as a seven-day peace plan. Mediators nevertheless remain engaged, with Qatar involved in talks among the United States and Iran. Reports from PBS, The Boston Globe and Iran International said contacts were continuing but that major hurdles remained.

The negotiations have also affected oil markets. Yahoo Finance reported that an earlier rise in oil prices was pared as traders anticipated the Qatar-U.S.-Iran discussions.

No agreement has been announced, and the parties remain divided over what a deal should include. Al Jazeera reported that a deal was considered unlikely before the U.S. midterm elections. The Washington Post separately described Trump as declining an available “off-ramp,” presenting that characterization as analysis rather than a reported negotiating outcome.
