The Qatari mediation team departed Tehran today without achieving a breakthrough in US-Iran nuclear talks, according to the New York Times. The departure follows the collapse of an earlier round of negotiations last week.
The New York Times reported late Tuesday that the Qatari mediation delegation left Tehran without securing progress in the faltering US-Iran nuclear negotiations. The report, published at 22:14 UTC, follows a day of intense diplomatic efforts that ultimately failed to bridge remaining gaps.
As The Zioneer reported earlier on Tuesday at 19:52 UTC, the Qatari team had already departed Tehran and Iranian sources were warning that any attack would end talks. The latest NYT report confirms the absence of a breakthrough. The broader diplomatic track was already under severe strain: on June 5, Iran blamed the collapse of talks on American strikes near its coast and Israeli operations in Lebanon, according to Fars News. One day earlier, President Trump told Prime Minister Netanyahu the US was "days away" from a deal, per the New York Times, but by June 9 US officials were publicly uncertain talks would continue.
Axios reported at 19:37 UTC that negotiations risked collapse within hours. The Qatari team had been acting on behalf of the Trump administration, according to Fox News, in a bid to salvage a deal that now appears stalled. No date has been set for renewed talks.
