(Reuters) &#8211; The U.S. and Iran held indirect technical talks in Doha on Wednesday as they seek to agree on the flow of shipping through the \u200cStrait of Hormuz and secure a lasting ceasefire, a source with direct knowledge of the talks and an Iranian official said.<\/div><div>The talks are based on a 14-point interim accord signed last month that was meant to halt the war that began with U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran in February and reopen the strait, while setting up 60 days of negotiations for a permanent peace deal.<\/div><div>However, the U.S. and Iran \u200bhave sparred publicly over the meaning of the interim pact, leading to tit-for-tat military strikes over the past week and leaving little sign of progress \u200bon more complex issues, including on Iran&#8217;s nuclear programme.<\/div><div>Iran is determined to win international recognition of its control over the strait and its \u2060ability to levy fees on ships entering or leaving the Gulf, even if it has to do so by force, according to two senior Iranian sources.<\/div><div>Traffic has partially resumed \u200bthrough the waterway, which handled one-fifth of global oil and liquefied natural gas trade before the war.<\/div><div>U.S. President Donald Trump, who has said removing Iran&#8217;s highly enriched uranium is a \u200btop priority, told reporters on Wednesday that &#8220;the denuclearization of Iran is moving along well&#8221;, without giving details.<\/div><div>&#8220;They&#8217;ve had very good meetings, and we&#8217;ll see,&#8221; he said of the talks in Doha, where there was no evidence the nuclear issue had yet been discussed.<\/div><h2>FOCUS ON HORMUZ, FROZEN ASSETS<\/h2><div>The indirect talks, mediated by Qatar and Pakistan, began on Tuesday night and were continuing on Wednesday, the Iranian official \u200bsaid.<\/div><div>They are structured as sessions between chief negotiators and specialists, the source with knowledge of the talks said, adding that Trump&#8217;s son-in-law Jared Kushner and envoy Steve Witkoff met \u200bQatar&#8217;s prime minister to lay groundwork for the talks but would not be attending.<\/div><div>Iran&#8217;s Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi headed a delegation of representatives from Iran&#8217;s foreign ministry, central bank and \u200cagriculture ministry, \u2060meeting Qatar&#8217;s prime minister and holding talks with mediators.<\/div><div>Iran has stated publicly that its priorities include agreeing on management of the strait and the release of $6 billion in Iranian frozen assets, and the Iranian official said the current round of discussions would focus on those two issues.<\/div><div>The stated priority of the U.S. is to ensure the free flow of traffic through the strait, the source with knowledge of the talks said.<\/div><div>Iran&#8217;s state media said on Wednesday a foreign container ship had run aground in the Strait of Hormuz after \u200bentering shallow waters outside the shipping route \u200bdesignated by Iranian authorities.<\/div><div>&#8220;Hormuz continues to \u2060reopen but it&#8217;s patchy, unpredictable, and not fully transparent,&#8221; said Vandana Hari, founder of oil market analysis provider Vanda Insights.<\/div><h2>INTENSIVE DIPLOMACY ON LEBANON<\/h2><div>The war triggered Iranian attacks on Gulf states hosting U.S. military bases and killed thousands of people, mainly in Iran and \u200bLebanon, as well as pushing up oil and fuel prices.<\/div><div>Trump faces domestic pressure to contain the economic fallout from the war \u200bbefore midterm elections in \u2060November, as well as criticism from his own party that the interim deal leaves U.S. objectives unmet.<\/div><div>In Iran, the theocratic leadership survived the war but faces domestic anger over a shattered economy.<\/div><div>Oil prices fell around 1% on Wednesday, with U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude reaching its lowest since February 27 \u2014 a day before the war&#8217;s outbreak \u2014 at $69.12 a barrel.<\/div><div>The interim deal between the U.S. and \u2060Iran also \u200bprovides for an end to a parallel conflict between Israel and Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon.<\/div><div>The U.S. \u200bhas backed a separate track of talks between Israel and Lebanon&#8217;s government, which produced a framework security deal that Hezbollah has dismissed and analysts warn could entrench Israel&#8217;s occupation of Lebanon&#8217;s south.<\/div><div>There had been intensive diplomatic activity on \u200bLebanon between parties including the U.S. up to Tuesday evening, the source with knowledge of the talks said.<\/div><div><address><div><div><noscript>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
