Qatari negotiators have departed Tehran after completing discussions focused on the ongoing conflict situation in the Middle East. A diplomat confirmed to AFP on Thursday that the talks, which continued until early morning, involved Iranian officials and were conducted in coordination with the United States.

The meeting took place at a time of heightened tension, as the United States and Iran have recently carried out retaliatory attacks against each other. The discussions were aimed at addressing the escalating hostilities and exploring possible de-escalation measures, though no specific outcomes were disclosed.

The timing of the Qatari delegation’s departure underscores the urgency of diplomatic efforts to manage the volatile regional situation, but the source did not provide details on any agreements or next steps.
