The next round of indirect talks between the United States and Iran is scheduled to take place on September 28, according to a report by Axios citing sources familiar with the matter.
Qatari mediators are said to be continuing "shuttle diplomacy" efforts, working to relay positions between Washington and Tehran in an attempt to broker an agreement between the two sides, which do not maintain direct diplomatic relations.
The talks come amid a broader diplomatic push to address tensions between the two countries. Details on the specific agenda for the upcoming round have not been disclosed publicly.
Background
Qatar has played a recurring mediating role in indirect communications between the US and Iran, given the absence of formal diplomatic channels between the two governments. Such shuttle diplomacy typically involves intermediaries carrying messages and proposals between the parties rather than direct face-to-face negotiations.
Neither Washington nor Tehran has issued an official statement confirming the September 28 date or characterizing the state of the discussions ahead of the reported meeting.
