A Qatari negotiating team arrives in Tehran on Friday to help facilitate efforts between the United States and Iran aimed at securing a final agreement to end the war and address unresolved issues, Reuters reports, citing a source with knowledge of the matter. The source says the team travels in coordination with Washington and is focused on reaching a deal that would put an end to hostilities and resolve outstanding questions. Qatar’s involvement represents a shift in its posture toward the Iran file. According to Reuters and the Korea Times, Doha previously distanced itself from playing a mediation role in the Iran war after it was targeted during the latest conflict, when Iranian missiles and drones struck. While Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not immediately comment, the reports note Qatar’s broader experience as a mediator in other international tensions, including the Gaza war. The articles also mention that Pakistan has served as the official mediator since fighting began. Overall, the reported move highlights renewed external engagement in ongoing talks amid a fragile ceasefire framework.
