Qatar rejects reports of failed US-Iran talks.

Saudi Gazette, Arab News and Okaz reported that Qatar’s International Media Office rejected reports that Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani had said the United States and Iran failed to reach an agreement. The office called the reports “false and misleading,” and said Washington and Tehran continue working toward an agreement, with Qatari mediators in close coordination with both sides to support ongoing negotiations. Saudi Arabia has welcomed Qatar’s mediation in US-Iran diplomacy and, in a separate statement, condemned Iran’s targeting of a Saudi tanker and called for de-escalation and a return to negotiations. The Qatari clarification describes negotiations as ongoing; it does not announce that an agreement has been reached.
