卡塔尔、巴基斯坦和阿曼正充当中介，推进美伊围绕重新开放霍尔木兹海峡的调停工作。[1][3]卡塔尔外交部发言人Majed al-Ansari表示调停工作"仍在与各方进行中"且处于"非常积极的阶段"。[1]美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特表示，美伊正在进行谈判，有望"今天或明天"达成开放海峡的协议。[3]
然而，两国对谈判进展发出了相互矛盾的信号。[1]伊朗外交部发言人Esmail Baqai否认正在进行直接对话，称"没有计划接待或派遣代表团"，仅与阿曼就协议进行讨论。[1]特朗普曾声称谈判定于周一下午开始，但伊朗随后否认了这一说法。[1]
根据初步协议框架，船舶将通过伊朗控制的路线进入波斯湾、通过阿曼控制的路线驶出，并收取安全和环保服务费。[2]该协议与美国解除对伊朗港口的封锁挂钩。[2]特朗普表示这是伊朗的"最后机会"，并提出分两阶段的方案：第一阶段开放海峡，第二阶段为去核化。[2]6月中旬美伊签署的初步协议规定进行60天谈判，该期限约两周后到期。[2]
霍尔木兹海峡自2月下旬起已实际关闭。[1]全球五分之一的石油和液化天然气通过此处运输。[2][3]英国海事贸易运营局报告一艘货轮在波斯湾遭"未知射弹"击中。[1]
Mediation efforts to resolve tensions between Washington and Tehran are progressing through regional intermediaries, though the parties remain at odds over whether direct negotiations are occurring. Qatar's Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed al-Ansari stated that mediation work is "still ongoing with all the parties" and has reached "very progressive stages," [1] while Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baqai denied that direct talks with the United States are planned, asserting "there was no plan to receive or send a delegation." [1] Qatar, Pakistan, and Oman are working to broker a short-term solution focused on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway through which approximately one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments pass.[1][2][3]
The negotiations center on restoring a memorandum of understanding signed in mid-June that subsequently collapsed in July.[3] According to preliminary proposals, vessels would enter the Persian Gulf through Iranian-controlled routes and exit via Omani-controlled routes while paying service fees for security and environmental protection.[2] Any agreement remains contingent on the United States lifting its blockade of Iranian ports, a provision viewed as a strategic victory for Iran.[2] US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told NBC that "there is a chance we may have a deal today or tomorrow to open the strait and move towards a more normalised position in this conflict,"[3] while Secretary of State Marco Rubio acknowledged that "negotiations have made progress, but have not yet been finalized."[2] Trump claimed that direct talks were scheduled to begin Monday afternoon,[1] though Iran subsequently denied this claim. A 60-day negotiating period established in the mid-June accord is set to expire in approximately two weeks, during which disputed issues surrounding Iranian transit fees remain unresolved.[3]
