What happened
Iran conveyed to the United States through Qatari intermediaries its terms for ending the war and is waiting for a response from President Donald Trump. Tehran demands an end to the war on all fronts, the release of frozen Iranian assets, and an end to the naval blockade. Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said consultations with Qatari and Pakistani intermediaries are continuing.
Who's affected
The diplomatic track involves the United States, Iran, Qatar and Pakistan: Tehran conveyed its terms through Qatari intermediaries, and consultations with Qatar and Pakistan are continuing. The United States approved visas for Iran's main delegation, including the president and foreign minister, with restrictions on movement and a ban on purchasing luxury goods.
