Mediators, Iran in talks for Turkey meeting before November 4: sources

Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araqchi, stated that Tehran is in close and ongoing contact with intermediaries regarding a seven-day proposal aimed at ending the war in the Middle East. According to Business Recorder, the plan includes the possibility of reopening the Strait of Hormuz if certain conditions are met, though the proposal was reportedly rejected by US President Donald Trump and led to further mediation by Qatar.

Araqchi noted that the seven-day plan could potentially be completed in less than a week if implemented.

While Punch Nigeria reports that the discussions involve reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a senior Iranian official told Haaretz that a Qatari proposal offered only unacceptable ideas. Additionally, Ajel English reports that sources told Al Arabiya that Iran and mediators are discussing a meeting in Turkey to take place before November 4, with Iran's nuclear file included on the agenda.
