Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has reportedly been in regular contact with Qatar's prime minister while defending actions by Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, including attacks on commercial vessels and efforts to control shipping routes.

The report said the 60-day Memorandum of Understanding was intended to keep the strategic trade corridor open until mid-August, but disagreements over maritime access have strained the agreement.

Meanwhile, U.S. Central Command carried out two days of strikes targeting Iranian military infrastructure, including railways used to transport military supplies. According to CBS News, Vice President JD Vance, Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff are involved in ongoing diplomatic efforts.
