U.S. pressures Iran to drop tolls as Doha resumes talks over Hormuz Strait

U.S. and Iranian negotiators in Doha are focusing on the Strait of Hormuz within broader nuclear-deal discussions, with Washington arguing Iran would gain more from a comprehensive agreement than tolls in the strait. Although a 60-day window for a final deal remains, the memorandum of understanding is still unsettled as negotiators pursue a short de-escalation accord and advance technical talks via Qatari and Pakistani mediators. Key disputes include control and fees for the strait after the MOU, with Iran claiming joint sovereignty with Oman and the U.S. pressing for Gulf endorsement of any new arrangements. U.S. envoys have met with Qatari leaders as mediation continues, while reports of frozen-funds releases are denied by officials.

Doha diplomacy: Iran ties U.S. pact to five conditions

US and Iranian officials are conducting indirect, low-level talks in Doha via Qatari and Pakistani mediators, with Iran's chief negotiator saying the memorandum of understanding will be implemented only if five provisions—ending military operations (Article 1), lifting the naval blockade (Article 4), toll-free Hormuz transit for 60 days (Article 5), oil export waivers (Article 10), and releasing frozen assets (Article 11)—are fulfilled; Washington says no funds will be released until commitments are met. No high-level meetings are planned as discussions focus on technical implementation, while regional developments such as the Lebanon ceasefire and Hormuz traffic trends continue to unfold and oil markets react to the talks.

"US Demands Taliban Accountability for Human Rights at Doha Talks"

The US has urged the Taliban to reverse policies affecting human rights, particularly for women, girls, and vulnerable communities, during talks in Doha. The US also pressed for the release of detained US citizens, while the Taliban requested the unfreezing of Afghanistan's assets. The talks acknowledged a decrease in large-scale terrorist attacks against Afghan civilians, and the US delegation expressed support for the Afghan people's demands for their rights to be respected. The Taliban swept back to power in Afghanistan in August 2021 following the withdrawal of US troops.
