Qatar will be the ones mediating this and they will also host separate sessions with both the US and Iran delegations to establish the technical framework. The whole point of the meeting is also to resolve any critical differences that remain and finalise the text that will be signed after, expected on Friday.
Once this is settled, the signing ceremony should take place in Switzerland on 19 June. After which, both sides will engage in technical-level negotiations on Iran’s nuclear arrangements/commitments over the next 60 days.
The talks in Doha are just a formality at this point. It will take a real big hiccup to mess things up from hereon. The only questions that remain are:
- Can the terms of the MOU deal hold for the next 60 days of negotiations?
- What happens if Israel acts on its own accord in attacking Lebanon?
- Will the Strait of Hormuz really reopen “in full” after 30 days?
- What happens if Iran keeps delaying things beyond the 60-day period and demands more concessions?
- Will Trump really have the appetite to reignite the war if things go south?
