Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman said the marathon round of US-Iran negotiations in Qatar concluded after 18 hours and that "good progress" was made, according to Iranian state-linked channels. The talks are part of the ongoing mediated track between Washington and Tehran, which our bureau has been tracking since mid-June.
The latest round of US-Iran negotiations in Qatar concluded early Monday morning, with an Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman stating that "good progress" was achieved during 18 hours of talks, per Iranian state-affiliated channels. No statement has yet been released by the US side or the Qatari mediators.
This round follows a series of reported negotiations across multiple venues. As The Zioneer reported earlier on Monday (04:22 Jerusalem), a previous round in Switzerland also concluded with Iran announcing "good progress." A broader SAME-THREAD record shows that talks have shifted between Qatar, Switzerland, and Geneva since mid-June, with Iran's Foreign Ministry repeatedly claiming advances while acknowledging contradictory signals from Washington. On June 21, The Zioneer reported that the Geneva talks lasted 80 minutes and covered the Strait of Hormuz and sanctions.
What remains unclear: whether the outline of a Memorandum of Understanding has been finalized or signed digitally—as Iran claimed on June 19—and whether a face-to-face meeting between US and Iranian principals is imminent. Iran's spokesman did not provide a timeline for the next steps.
