Qatar Signals Talks 'Breakthrough' As Khamenei Warns Iran's Retaliation Will Have 'No Geographical Limits' If Attacked

"Could this be the actual breakthrough coming after many months of prior claimed negotiation 'breakthroughs' and false starts?
Just when the prospect of even getting back to the negotiating table seemed as remote as ever,
Qatari newspaper Al-Araby Al-Jadeed is reporting that planned direct talks are back on.
Regional sources are indeed calling this a "breakthrough" in hitherto indirect negotiations between Washington and Tehran, with an American delegation soon expected to join Iranian officials for direct talks in Doha.
Al Arabiya English says it has obtained ey points from the preliminary draft framework for restarting
US-Iran negotiations and has published the following list:
Iran
could transfer its highly enriched uranium stockpile to an agreed third country or reduce its enrichment level.
The Strait of Hormuz could reopen to international maritime traffic within seven days of an initial understanding.
China
could potentially serve as a guarantor of the implementation and sustainability of any agreement.
Direct
US-Iran negotiations could be held in Doha instead of Istanbul.
Iranian
measures on the nuclear file and maritime security would be matched by clearly defined US measures to ease sanctions, blockades and economic restrictions.
An independent verification mechanism would assess compliance before each subsequent phase of implementation.
Neither side would be required to make substantial concessions without receiving corresponding, independently verifiable commitments.
A dispute-resolution mechanism involving mediators and guarantor parties would address delays or violations to help prevent renewed military escalation." ZeroHedge
