Talks between Iran and its Pakistani and Qatari mediators in Doha have concluded, according to a report by Israeli journalist Yaron Schneider (N12). The report does not detail the outcomes or whether a senior-level round is expected next.
Iranian media reported Wednesday evening that negotiations with Pakistani and Qatari mediators in Doha have concluded, according to Israeli journalist Yaron Schneider (N12). The report provides no details on the content of the talks, the involvement of the mediators, or any resulting agreement.
The development comes amid a series of reported diplomatic tracks between Iran and the United States, mediated by Pakistan and Qatar. Previous rounds of technical talks were reported to have produced a draft Memorandum of Understanding in mid-June, though Iran has repeatedly denied holding direct talks with the U.S. delegation.
Background: As The Zioneer reported on June 23, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi announced the successful conclusion of technical talks among Iran, the US, Pakistan, and Qatar, and the completion of preparations for a senior-level round. However, subsequent reports including a June 14 bulletin indicated that Iranian negotiators had threatened to halt all talks. Wednesday's report does not clarify whether this round was a follow-up to the technical talks or a separate mediation track, nor whether a senior-level meeting is imminent.
