Iran and the United States held indirect talks in Qatar this week focusing on the Strait of Hormuz and Iran’s frozen assets. This as Iran begins six days of mourning for the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who was killed by US-Israeli airstrikes in February.

Meanwhile, Lebanon and Israel announced a framework agreement in Washington last week in an effort to end months of fighting. #Heat #Iran #Lebanon #Israel #Hezbollah #Gaza #MiddleEast #War
