Qatar says US-Iran talks to end Middle East war continue via mediators, despite deadlock over Strait of Hormuz
Synopsis

Mediator Qatar confirmed that indirect negotiations between the United States and Iran continue amid a protracted conflict. Talks have resumed despite ongoing tensions and previous ceasefires not yielding lasting peace. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed skepticism about the effectiveness of these discussions. As the war persists, both nations aim to address the strategic concerns surrounding the Strait of Hormuz.

Doha: Mediator Qatar on Tuesday said the United States and Iran were still engaged in talks to end the Middle East war, despite an apparent deadlock seven months into the conflict.



The indirect negotiations take account of "the concerns of the various parties", foreign ministry official Ibrahim Al-Hashmi told a regular press briefing.

"I can confirm that the talks are continuing and the exchange of messages between different parties are continuing via Qatar and its regional partners," he said.



"As you know, the scale of this conflict and the magnitude of the price that the whole world is paying require us to put our best efforts to end this immediately through a negotiable solution on the negotiation table," the official added.




Despite a ceasefire in April, a memorandum of understanding in June and talks at the UN General Assembly last month, Washington and Tehran remain at odds over the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

On Monday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said talks with the US were "meaningless" and only resulted in renewed attacks, according to state media.
