Iranian state television reports that a Qatari delegation has arrived in Tehran to discuss bilateral relations and regional developments, including the ongoing efforts to salvage US-Iran talks. The visit follows a similar Qatari mediation effort reported earlier today.
Iranian state television confirmed on Wednesday that a Qatari delegation has arrived in Tehran for high-level discussions. The talks center on bilateral relations between Doha and Tehran as well as broader regional developments, according to the report. Earlier today, as The Zioneer reported, a Qatari negotiating team traveled to Tehran in an effort to salvage the talks between Washington and Tehran — a separate but related mediation track. Wednesday's arrival appears to be the implementation of that diplomatic push. This round of Qatari mediation comes after Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held phone conversations with his Qatari and French counterparts on June 8 regarding Iran's response to developments. The details of those discussions were not disclosed. The diplomatic channel follows a period in which an Iranian delegation reportedly added Gaza to its list of demands in ongoing nuclear negotiations.
