The first round of negotiations between the US and Iran to reach a final deal to end the war has ended with "encouraging progress", mediators Qatar and Pakistan say.

In a joint statement early on Monday, Qatar and Pakistan said that the parties had agreed to "a roadmap towards reaching a final deal within 60 days".

Iran's foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said there had been "major progress" towards ending the conflict in Lebanon.
...
The mediators' joint statement said that a "communication line" had been formed "to avoid incidents and miscommunication with the aim of safe passage for commercial vessels through the Strait of Hormuz".

Qatar, Pakistan, and the US have agreed to a blueprint to negotiate. Iran's civilian official can't agree to shit, Iran's Revolutionary Guard members make the final decision.

Where is Israel in these negotiations?

This is nothing more than Kabuki Theater to get the price of gas below $4/gal for the 4th of July for the big party to celebrate the Great Krasnov.

Krasnov's energy secretary claimed that Hormuz is fully open, while I saw a map that showed that 4 ships went through Hormuz yesterday.

I tend to believe the dots on the map.
