Iranian negotiators have left peace talks with Qatari mediators in Doha, and a draft proposal for ending the war with the United States is circulating, with a follow-up meeting possible. Reuters, citing an unnamed official briefed on the talks, reports that the negotiators left on Sunday and that this was not because of difficulties in the negotiations, and the official gave no details of the draft. NewsNation reports the draft circulating among Iranian negotiators. Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman, Esmaeil Baghaei, said the talks rest on a seven-step plan Iran proposed in September that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the US naval blockade, and that Iran’s demands are reasonable and logical.
