Mediators believe the United States and Iran are close to a breakthrough that could revive a memorandum of understanding signed last month, according to a report by The Times of Israel cited by BlockBeats. The report said the process remains on hold until after Tuesday’s meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump, with the White House yet to make a final call. Pakistan, Egypt, and Qatar said Monday night that they were discussing a proposal aimed at clarifying disagreements over operations in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran maintains that the memorandum gives it a degree of control over the waterway, while the U.S. disputes that interpretation. Mediators have put forward a plan to bridge those differences and allow Washington and Tehran to hold talks under the framework of the memorandum. The 60-day term of the agreement expires next month. Iran and Oman have already approved the proposal, and it is now awaiting Trump’s approval.
Mediators believe the United States and Iran are nearing a breakthrough that could restart a memorandum of understanding signed last month, according to The Times of Israel.
Before Tuesday’s meeting between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump, an Arab official and another source said mediators saw the sides as close to an agreement. Even so, a final decision has not been made. The report said mediators are still waiting for Trump’s decision after his meeting with the Israeli leader, and two sources said the White House would not make a final call until that meeting concludes.
Dispute centers on Strait of Hormuz operations
Pakistan, Egypt, and Qatar said Monday night that they were discussing a proposal meant to clarify disagreements over operations in the Strait of Hormuz.
Iran argues that the memorandum gives it a degree of control over the strait. The United States does not share that view. Mediators’ proposal is designed to narrow that gap so Washington and Tehran can hold talks under the memorandum.
60-day term expires next month
The report said the memorandum’s 60-day term will expire next month. Iran and Oman have approved the mediators’ proposal, and it is now waiting for Trump’s approval.
