Overview
- Qatar and Pakistan said indirect technical talks in Doha made “positive progress” and mediators agreed to keep talks going after the Iranian state funeral period.
- Iran’s lead negotiator said the Doha meetings on July 1 formed a monitoring group and that a direct communications channel will record and raise alleged MoU violations.
- Tehran publicly accused the U.S. of breaching Clause 1 of the Islamabad MoU over the Lebanon ceasefire, while Iran and U.S. delegations did not meet each other directly in Doha.
- Core technical questions remain unresolved, including IAEA verification access, the sequencing of sanctions relief and the management or release of frozen Iranian funds.
- Negotiators are preparing to reconvene in Islamabad in mid‑July, with reports naming July 11 or July 14–15 as possible dates and mediators saying timing will follow funeral ceremonies.
