- Iran rejected the proposals put to it as "unacceptable," seeing only unacceptable ideas in the latest round of mediation.
- Qatari mediators said they presented a new draft deal to Tehran, making the latest terms they submitted the direct object of Iran's rejection.
- Qatar said it would float a deal trading UN inspectors' access to Iran's nuclear sites for sanctions relief.
Why it matters: The concrete mechanism on the table was an exchange — UN inspectors gaining access to Iran's nuclear sites in return for sanctions relief — and Tehran rejected the terms Qatar has publicly described. Qatar's mediation therefore produced a drafted proposal and a stated trade, but no acceptance from Iran.
