Qatar hands Iran new draft agreement to end US-Israeli war

Qatari mediators handed Iran a new draft agreement with Washington, which Tehran is studying with a response expected by end of week, an official said.

• Qatari mediators delivered the draft to Tehran last Sunday as part of efforts to end the US-Israeli war on Iran.
• The official said Iran is studying the proposal, with a response expected by the end of the week.
• The draft commits both sides to daily trust-building steps over seven days, which could begin next week.
• Qatar's Foreign Ministry said Iran must stop threats against regional states and ensure freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
• An official said there were concerns before Sunday's meeting that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu might resume strikes on Iran this week.
• Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghai said Trump's remarks that the memorandum was a waste of time reveal the emptiness of America's diplomatic commitments.
• Trump said Iran was two weeks from possessing a nuclear missile and that he was not convinced by the ceasefire with Iran.
