Event details
Iran issued a fresh warning for vessels to follow Tehran-designated routes through the strait, while Iranian officials discussed unfreezing assets and Axios reported U.S. envoys pressing Iran not to introduce tolls. Iranian negotiators then left Doha, pausing diplomacy ahead of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's funeral. Qatar said the indirect discussions had made positive progress.
Context
Diplomacy stopped for the funeral while the routing dispute stayed live, which is why the following week produced attacks rather than an agreement.
