Qatar has told i24NEWS that it is not conducting a separate mediation effort between Iran and the United States, and is instead supporting Pakistan’s lead role in the negotiations.
The statement follows reports of frustration in Islamabad over Tehran’s outreach to other regional channels, including Doha, outside the Pakistani-led track. According to sources, these parallel contacts have contributed to a growing lack of trust between Pakistan and Iran.
