Dispute about talks between USA and Iran

236

Important people from the USA are in Doha. Doha is a city in Qatar. Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are there. They work for US President Donald Trump. He says: Iran wants to talk to us. But Iran says: That is not true. There are no direct talks with the USA.

Iran only sends experts to Qatar. These experts only talk to the mediators. A mediator is a person who helps in a dispute. It is about a lot of money from Iran. This money is blocked on bank accounts abroad. Iran wants this money back.

A big point of dispute is the Strait of Hormuz. This is an important way in the sea for ships. Many ships bring oil to other countries there. Iran put mines into the water there. Now there is a dispute. Who may remove the mines? Iran wants to do it alone.

China is a winner in this conflict. China saved a lot of oil for bad times. The country also builds a lot of energy from sun and wind. Therefore China needs less oil from other countries. China sells many electric cars and solar systems to the whole world now.

The USA and Iran made a plan. They have 60 days for peace. But both sides still argue often. There were even attacks with weapons at the weekend. Israel and Lebanon also have to do with the conflict. Real peace is still far away.
