Hezbollah-aligned Al-Akhbar: Iran-US Doha talks leave key issues unresolved — Hormuz, $6 billion, Lebanon ceasefire

The Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar reports that the indirect technical talks between Tehran and Washington in Doha failed to bridge deep differences. The report cites the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, guarantees for the release of $6 billion in frozen Iranian assets, and the Lebanon ceasefire as the main sticking points. The report is based on a single partisan source and has not been independently verified.

The Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese daily Al-Akhbar reported Saturday morning that the recent round of indirect technical talks between Iran and the United States in Doha left deep differences unresolved. The report, published by the newspaper and cited by the N12 reporter Sapir Lipkin, identifies the main sticking points as the terms for reopening the Strait of Hormuz, guarantees for the release of $6 billion in frozen Iranian assets, and the complexity of the ceasefire in Lebanon.

The Zioneer reported at 10:29 that N12 carried the same Al-Akhbar report. This new message from Lipkin appears to be a direct restatement of the same report. The report comes from a source with a known partisan affiliation to Hezbollah and has not been independently verified. Multiple previous Al-Akhbar reports on the Iran-US talks, as tracked by The Zioneer, have consistently indicated significant obstacles, suggesting that the negotiations remain at an impasse despite earlier claims of progress.

The report does not provide new details beyond the unresolved issues. No official confirmation from Iran, the US, or mediators has been issued.
