Iranian officials say a U.S. response to Tehran’s seven-day trust-building plan arrived through Qatari mediators and is under cabinet review, The Jerusalem Post, Asharq Al-Awsat, and Al Jazeera’s live desk report. Washington still wants nuclear concessions before broad sanctions and blockade relief; Tehran ties a Hormuz reopen to ending the naval squeeze first.

Backstory: Trump publicly rejected an earlier Iranian package and denied Axios/CNN-style sanctions-relief leaks even while saying the war could end soon. Hegseth’s maximalist battle-damage claims remain contested — attribute to the Pentagon. Watch Araghchi’s travel, any published text, and shipping insurance rates. Agree a reply exists in mediator channels; differ on whether it narrows or papers over the sequencing gap.

As of Thursday, October 1, the public record on “Iran cabinet reviews U.S. Hormuz reply via Qatar channel” still matches the facts above. Overseas coverage gives U.S. morning readers the diplomatic and conflict stakes with short history attached. Reporting from The Jerusalem Post, Asharq Al-Awsat, Washington Examiner, New York Post anchors the Sources list; this card does not invent tallies, quotes, or outcomes beyond what those links support.

For a reader new to the thread: Tehran says American feedback arrived through Qatari mediators. Sequencing on sanctions and nuclear steps still blocks a reopen. Jerusalem Post, Asharq Al-Awsat, Examiner, and NY Post agree indirect mediation continues after Trump’s public rejection of Tehran’s earlier package. A short history beat matters here — prior seasons, rulings, product cycles, or diplomatic rounds set up today’s stakes — so the same-day news sits in context without filler.
