Qatar and Pakistan have confirmed that "positive progress" was made in the indirect, low-level technical talks between the United States and Iran in Doha on Wednesday as part of an interim deal in June to work toward a final agreement to end their four-month war.
Majed Mohammed Al-Ansari, spokesman for the Qatari Foreign Ministry, confirmed the development in a post on X, which became a brief joint statement that was also carried by Pakistan's Foreign Ministry.
