Iranian Officials Meet Qatari Leaders in Doha for US-Iran Conflict Talks

Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Doha for talks with Qatari officials on a potential US-Iran agreement aimed at ending the ongoing conflict. The discussions focus on issues including the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's stockpile of highly enriched uranium, and the release of frozen Iranian assets. The visit, involving Iran's central bank governor, is part of diplomatic efforts, reportedly facilitated by Pakistan, to assess US commitment to a truce and explore Qatar's role in implementing aspects of a possible deal.
