Qatar's Foreign Ministry confirmed its participation in the Geneva talks between Washington and Tehran, while strongly denying reports of Qatari payments for reconstruction inside Iran, calling the claims baseless. The report comes amid ongoing speculation about Gulf states' role in mediating U.S.-Iran negotiations.
Qatar's Foreign Ministry officially confirmed on Tuesday its involvement in the Geneva talks between the United States and Iran, the first on-record acknowledgment by Doha of its role in the ongoing negotiations. In a statement reported by the Arabic-language outlet Abu Saleh, the ministry also issued a categorical denial of reports that Qatari funds are being used for reconstruction inside Iran, calling such claims entirely baseless. The denial follows a pattern of Gulf states publicly pushing back against reports of financial transfers to Tehran — the UAE issued a similar denial on June 13. The Zioneer previously reported that Qatar sent a delegation to Iran on June 10 at the behest of the Trump administration, according to Fox News, and that Iranian officials have denied a deal is imminent. The confirmation of Doha's role in Geneva comes as US-Iran nuclear talks, mediated by Oman and reportedly Qatar, continue without a publicly announced breakthrough. No further details on the Geneva agenda or Qatari mediation were disclosed.
