Qatari delegation is in Iran, aims to boost mediation role — Iranian media
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Qatari delegation visits Iran in what is believed to be an effort by Doha to consolidate its role as a mediator after a recent escalation in hostilities in the Gulf, Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency reports.
Tasnim says the visit follows what it describes as Qatari accusations against Iran over an alleged incident in the Strait of Hormuz and subsequent US attacks on Iranian military and civilian targets.
A source with knowledge of the situation tells Reuters that Qatari negotiators are meeting Iranian officials in an effort to de-escalate tensions and create conditions for broader negotiations, adding that the talks are being conducted in coordination with the United States.
