The headlines note that Qatar and Pakistan are serving as mediators for the "indirect" technical talks at the moment. Adding that the session is involving chief negotiators and specialist teams from both the US and Iran.Just to add on that, the source says that Kushner and Witkoff met with Qatar's prime minister yesterday to lay out the groundwork for the talks today. However, they will not be attending the session themselves.So, that clears things up a bit as to who are the people involved in the discussions.As things stand, we can't say for certain what exactly these talks will entail. And what exactly does it mean by being framed as "indirect".Is it just some appetiser points on nuclear discussions? Or is still just about trying to ensure that both sides fulfill their obligations with regards to the memorandum of understanding?Either way, the situation surrounding the Strait of Hormuz is also becoming less clear by the day. At first, it seems like Iran will maintain managed control over the strait without imposing tolls. But now, the latest is that they might be pushing for "voluntary fees" for passage along the waterway. Good stuff. This article was written by Justin Low at investinglive.com.
