US and Iran Hold Indirect Talks in Qatar Amid Strait of Hormuz Tensions

Delegations from the United States and Iran are in Doha for discussions aimed at reducing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical oil transit area. While the White House suggests direct talks are resuming, Iran maintains it is only engaging with mediators. These diplomatic efforts follow recent regional strikes that impacted shipping and global oil prices, with the release of frozen Iranian assets also part of the broader dispute.
