The prospect of an interim deal focused on the Strait of Hormuz gained traction after Qatar said a proposal had been drafted and both American and Iranian officials sounded hopeful about reopening the crucial waterway. President Trump told reporters in Los Angeles on Tuesday night that talks with Iran are “moving along very nicely,” adding, “We’ll know in 48 hours.” Megan Sutcliffe Principal Analyst for the Middle East and Africa at Sibylline spoke to Bloomberg’s Abeer Abu Omar on Horizons Middle East & Africa on the likelihood of a deal being struck between US & Iran.
