Gulf-based international broadcaster; "what's the latest" explainer on the state of US-Iran talks as of July 1, covering both direct-meeting denials and the Oman Hormuz channel

Summarized the state of US-Iran negotiations as of July 1: Iran's parliamentary speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf declared Iran is 'currently not negotiating with the United States at all,' even as US officials described technical talks as advancing via Qatari intermediaries. Oman is running a parallel Hormuz management track. Iran has not received any of its $6 billion frozen assets; the US restricts use to 'humanitarian' purposes.
