[71572] Qatari negotiation team arrived in Tehran in coordination with the US to end the fighting

A Qatari delegation in Tehran to promote an end to the fighting

According to reports from the Reuters news agency, a negotiation delegation on behalf of Qatar arrived in Tehran on Friday. According to the sources, the move is being carried out in close coordination with the United States, with the aim of reaching a "coordinated agreement to end the fighting" and resolving issues that have remained open between the parties.

The report, which received widespread echo in various media outlets, was quoted by Iran International, which emphasizes that this is a strategic shift on the part of Doha. According to the channel, Qatar, which has previously served as a central mediator in regional conflicts and the Gaza war, has "moved away from the role of mediator in the war with Iran" following a direct hit to its territory by Iranian missiles and UAVs during the escalation of the conflict.

The state news agency IRNA, which represents the Iranian establishment's position, confirmed the presence of the team in Tehran and defined the reports as assistance in resolving "outstanding issues" between Iran and the US. Channels identified with security apparatuses, such as سپاه ایران | IRGC, also reported on the contacts while emphasizing the coordination with Washington.

Additional sources, including العربیه فارسی and هات نیوز, note that the delegation's arrival on Friday marks a renewed diplomatic effort under American auspices. As of now, no details have been published on concrete progress in the talks, but the fact that the delegation is already present in the Iranian capital points to a tangible attempt at a ceasefire.
