Reuters places the exchanges on the third day of a mediation sequence that began in Tehran before moving to Doha. The Iranian minister presents the shorter proposed period as a development in the plan discussed with Qatar; it is neither US acceptance nor a reopening of the strait.
Araghchi also says no direct meeting with a US delegation is planned during the visit. The outcome depends, he says, on Washington’s response to Iranian conditions. The sources report continuing mediation but establish neither a final text accepted by both parties nor an agreed implementation timetable.
