Qatari Mediators Return to Tehran for US-Iran Deal
Qatari mediators have returned to Tehran to establish common ground for a deal between the US and Iran. While a previously proposed peace plan was rejected, the parties continue to have different priorities regarding nuclear issues and the lifting of sanctions.
Qatari mediators have returned to Tehran to revive negotiations conducted in coordination with the US.
An official familiar with the matter told Reuters that Qatar has returned to Tehran as part of mediation efforts conducted in coordination with the US. A peace plan presented by Qatar last Sunday was rejected by a senior Iranian official, who deemed it unacceptable.
The main points of contention in the talks stem from the parties' priorities. While the Washington administration demands that nuclear issues be included from the very beginning of the negotiations, the Tehran administration insists on the lifting of sanctions on oil exports and the end of port blockades as a prerequisite.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated on Wednesday that they are in close contact with mediators to ensure the implementation of their seven-day proposal aimed at ending the war in the Middle East. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump stated that the contact established by Vice President JD Vance with Iran was related to medical supplies.
