Iran receives U.S. response to its seven-day plan through Qatari mediators

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi received the U.S. response to Iran's seven-day trust-building plan from Qatari mediators in Doha on Tuesday, Reuters reports. The plan is meant to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and lead to talks on Iran's nuclear program. An official briefed on the talks told Reuters, "The disagreement centres on the sequencing of the steps rather than the components of the plan." Araghchi is expected to brief Iran's leadership in Tehran on Wednesday. President Trump had earlier rejected Iran's initial proposal.
