The US and Iran engaged in a series of military exchanges over the weekend, including US strikes following Iranian attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian retaliation against US assets in Bahrain and Kuwait. Following these hostilities, both nations paused strikes, though reports of a planned meeting in Doha are contradictory, with the US announcing the meeting and Iran denying it. An interim deal is being discussed involving the dilution of enriched uranium in exchange for sanctions relief and the release of $6 billion in frozen assets.

Additionally, there is no analysis from independent international monitors regarding the technical feasibility of the uranium dilution deal.
