Sources familiar with the matter: Iranian representatives have departed Doha, and a draft agreement aimed at ending the US-Iran war is currently being circulated.

According to Reuters, an official familiar with the talks told the news agency that Iranian negotiators left their meeting with Qatari mediators on Sunday. A draft agreement aimed at ending the U.S.-Iran conflict is being circulated, and further meetings remain possible. The official added that the walkout was not due to stalled negotiations. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bagheri confirmed that Deputy Foreign Minister Bagheri Babadi had previously exchanged information with Washington in Doha via Qatari mediation. Current consultations are still based on the "seven-step plan" Iran proposed in September. The plan's core provisions include the U.S. ending its blockade of Iranian ports, Iran reopening the Strait of Hormuz, the U.S. granting exemptions for Iran's oil exports, and lifting recent new sanctions, among others. Bagheri said the plan can now be compressed to implementation in roughly two days, provided the U.S. meets Iran's conditions. When asked whether discussions on transferring high-enriched uranium stockpiles had been held, he explicitly denied the reports. The report noted that oil prices fell nearly 4% on Monday amid optimism over the current mediation, but Iranian sources said the likelihood of a new U.S. military strike remained higher than that of a deal being reached. Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Russia's Foreign Ministry separately called for a political resolution and opposed the resumption of military operations on the same day. U.S. President Donald Trump has previously rejected Iran's original seven-step plan and stated he would not launch new attacks on Iran ahead of the midterm elections.
