Iran Says US Contact Took Place Through Qatari Mediation
Iran's foreign ministry spokesman said recent interaction with the United States was conducted through a mediator from Qatar.
Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said that recent interaction between Iran and the United States was carried out through a Qatari mediator, according to a report from Iran's Mehr News Agency on September 23.
Baghaei's comment, made in Tehran, confirms that indirect channels involving Qatar have been used for communication between the two countries, which do not maintain direct diplomatic relations.
The report did not provide additional detail on the substance, timing, or outcome of the exchange. Qatar has previously served as an intermediary in indirect Iran-US communications given the absence of formal diplomatic ties between Tehran and Washington.
No further comment from United States officials or the Qatari government was included in the available source material.
