Major Update On Possible US-Iran Deal to End War

But the strikes on Monday occurred as Iranian officials gathered in Qatar for negotiations on ending the war.

Iran said Monday that Tehran and Washington have struck understandings on many subjects in negotiations over a deal for ending the war, but warned that a final deal is not imminent.

“It is correct to say that we have reached a conclusion on a large portion of the issues under discussion,” foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said during a weekly news briefing.
