U.S. and Iranian negotiators are in Doha for separate meetings involving Qatari and Pakistani mediators, with Qatar saying the talks show “positive progress” and that both sides agree to continue discussions. Multiple outlets report that Qatar and both governments frame the current phase as indirect or separate engagement rather than direct talks. Qatar’s foreign ministry says no direct meetings are scheduled between U.S. and Iranian officials while the delegations are in Doha this week, including no direct technical meetings. NDTV also reports that Qatar denies planned direct U.S.-Iran talks in Doha. Channel NewsAsia adds that Iran says there will be “no negotiation meetings at any level” with the American side in the coming days, and NDTV reports Iran dismisses speculation that its visit is linked to immediate U.S. talks. Taken together, the reports indicate that U.S. and Iran are meeting separately with mediators, and that direct contact between the two sides is not scheduled at this stage. Both sides, through Qatar’s statement, agree to continue discussions as the process develops.
