Qatari prime minister meets US envoys for talks on Iran negotiations

Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani has met US envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Doha to discuss ongoing talks between Tehran and Washington.

In a statement, Qatar's Foreign Ministry said Sheikh Mohammed reaffirmed Doha's mediation efforts and its support for negotiations stemming from the memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran.

"The meeting also addressed the latest regional developments, particularly the ceasefire in the fraternal Republic of Lebanon," the ministry said.

In a separate statement, the ministry said Iranian and American technical delegations remain in session, with meetings taking place "in different contexts" and with the participation of mediators to ensure their continuity, whether in Doha or elsewhere.

The ministry added that there are "currently no high-level meetings between the Iranian and American sides" under way.
