On the 4th, Iranian foreign ministry spokesman BAGHAEI said Iran briefed Qatari mediators during a brief visit and that the U.S. plan relayed via Qatar largely mirrors prior U.S. positions focused on Iran's nuclear program. He said Iran's immediate priority is security in the Strait of Hormuz and that securing or restoring safety there would require concrete U.S. steps, including stopping interference with Iranian commercial shipping, lifting sanctions and ceasing other interventionist measures. BAGHAEI added Iran has reviewed the U.S. concerns transmitted via Qatar, will investigate certain details and will provide supplementary comments.
