A political source told Russian news agency RIA Novosti that regional consultations about the US-Iran situation through Qatar, Pakistan and other capitals are continuing, but ongoing US military threats remain one of the main obstacles to progress. The source said Iran’s position is that halting military operations cannot be treated as a separate agreement from other issues. (Sources: Khabar Fori and Jamaran)

Tehran insists that sanctions and economic blockade, the release of its frozen financial assets, and compensation for war-related damages must be addressed. (Source: Khabar Fori)
