Did Washington and Tehran fail to reach an agreement? – Qatar responds to rumours

Qatari authorities have denied reports circulating on social media claiming that the country’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, had announced the failure of talks between the United States and Iran.

TodayPress TV reports that this was stated in a statement issued by Qatar’s International Media Office.

It noted that reports circulating on social media claiming that Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister had said the United States and Iran failed to reach an agreement were unfounded and misleading.

According to the Media Office, the Qatari Prime Minister’s remarks have been systematically distorted by forces that benefit from the continuation of war and instability in the region.

It added that fake accounts were spreading such claims on a large scale in an attempt to undermine diplomatic efforts and further escalate tensions. The office described these actions as highly irresponsible.

The statement emphasised that, in fact, Qatar’s Prime Minister had confirmed that both sides were continuing their efforts to reach an agreement.

It also noted that Qatari mediators remain in close coordination with Washington and Tehran to support the ongoing negotiation process.
