Iranian sources say the Qatari delegation left Tehran after 17 hours of negotiations that resulted in a completed draft Memorandum of Understanding. The report follows and contradicts earlier claims of a deal, and comes amid conflicting signals from various outlets about the status of the US-Iran talks mediated by Qatar.
A Qatari mediation team departed Tehran at the conclusion of 17 hours of marathon talks, after which a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was agreed upon, according to Iranian reports cited by Israeli journalist Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). The report was published at 03:03 Jerusalem.
The development updates a rapidly shifting situation. Earlier on Monday at 02:36 Jerusalem, Fox News reported—citing a single diplomat—that Qatari mediators had reached a deal with Iran. That report was published by The Zioneer as a Developing bulletin. At 02:04, Iranian state media published what it said was the full 14-article text of a draft agreement.
The new report from Iranian sources frames the outcome as a draft MOU, not a finalized deal—implying that further steps, possibly including preparatory meetings in Doha and a formal signing abroad, remain ahead. The report comes from a single source (Iranian media) and has not yet been independently corroborated by Western or Israeli outlets; the underlying terms and the scope of any agreement remain unverified.
