US and Iran negotiators made “positive progress” during indirect talks in Doha, with the next round expected after the late Iranian supreme leader’s funeral, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
“Qatar & Pakistan mediators concluded separate meetings with the US & Iranian negotiators in Doha today, with positive progress made on issues related to the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding, building on the outcomes of the Lake Lucerne Summit,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed Al Ansari said on X.
“The parties agreed to continue discussions over the coming period, with the next meeting to be scheduled at the earliest possible time following the funeral processions of the former Iranian Supreme Leader.”
President Donald Trump hailed the progress on Wednesday of indirect talks, saying there had been “very good meetings” in Doha.
“As far as things are going, the denuclearization of Iran is moving along well. They’ve had very good meetings, and we’ll see,” Trump said. “We hit them very hard… but we’re getting along very well,” he said of the talks, which were pushed to advance negotiations and quell tensions following exchanges of fire between the two sides.
