Iranian negotiators are continuing talks with the United States through Pakistani and Qatari mediators, according to journalist Amichai Stein (i24NEWS). The report follows a series of recent diplomatic flurries centered on a potential preliminary agreement, with mediators on June 14 expressing optimism that a deal was nearly finalized.
The diplomatic track between Iran and the United States remains active, with Pakistani and Qatari mediators continuing to broker negotiations, journalist Amichai Stein (i24NEWS) reported Sunday evening. Stein's report is the latest in a dense stream of diplomatic signals over the past week: on Thursday, June 11, Iranian sources told Reuters that talks on a preliminary agreement, including a mechanism for unfreezing frozen assets, were still proceeding. Pakistan and Qatar subsequently expressed optimism on Sunday, June 14, stating the deal was "almost across the finish line." However, later that same day, Iran's semi-official Fars News agency reported that Tehran had conveyed reservations to the Qatari mediators and that nothing was final. A diplomatic push also continued that day as Washington leveraged regional channels to try to prevent an Iranian strike on Israel, as The Zioneer reported. Stein's update, specifically citing the involvement of Pakistan and Qatar as mediators, confirms that the channel is still open — without specifying whether a breakthrough or setback is imminent. The talks have coincided with ongoing US airstrikes on Iranian military infrastructure.
