Iran suspends talks participation, demands Strait of Hormuz addressed first in negotiations

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Iran informed Pakistan it suspended its participation in the talks rather than withdrawing, and is willing to resume in Doha, Geneva, or Islamabad. Tehran told mediators it will not accept a new route in the Strait of Hormuz and wants the talks to proceed under the memorandum of understanding. It is demanding the Strait be addressed first, followed by the frozen funds, with the nuclear issue last. - Al Arabiya
