Qatari Prime Minister met with US envoys to analyze negotiations
Qatar Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani met this Tuesday (30) with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to discuss ongoing negotiations between the US and Iran and regional developments, the Qatari Foreign Ministry said.
The meeting, according to the ministry, reviewed the latest developments in negotiations between the United States and Iran under the memorandum of understanding between the two parties, as well as efforts to strengthen security and stability in the region through dialogue and diplomacy.
Tuesday's meeting also addressed the ceasefire in Lebanon "and emphasized the importance of stabilizing it and moving forward from it to preserve the unity, sovereignty and stability of Lebanon," the ministry said.
Qatar also reported that technical negotiations between Iran and the United States continue, but that, at the moment, there are no high-level meetings between the two sides.
Meanwhile, Iran says talks in Qatar, scheduled for Wednesday, will address the implementation of Tehran's deal with the US as well as the issue of its frozen assets, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Tuesday.

At least 32 vessels transited the strategic waterway in the last 24 hours, according to data from MarineTraffic. Seventeen ships entered the Persian Gulf - including seven oil tankers and 10 cargo ships - and another 15 left the gulf.
