Qatar hosts Iran message
Iranian Interior Minister Iskandar Momeni met Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani in Doha on Tuesday while carrying a message from Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian. Qatar’s Director of the Media and Communications Department at the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ibrahim Al-Hashimi, said communications between the parties involved are "ongoing and have not stopped," and he added that talks between the United States and Iran are ongoing.
Momeni said he carried Pezeshkian’s message to the Emir of Qatar and described the dialogue as "good and constructive" after his meeting. Momeni and Qatar’s interior minister agreed to establish a joint working group to follow up on decisions reached during the talks.
Mediation and proposals
Iran and Qatar exchanged messages and proposals on Tuesday as Doha said its mediation between Tehran and Washington was continuing without interruption. President Donald Trump said the United States must finish up with Iran, saying it was only a question of whether Washington would do so "the nice way or the not-so-nice way."
Mehr News Agency said Momeni described Iran-Qatar relations as "brotherly and constructive" and said bilateral issues are being addressed and resolved through meetings. Momeni described the talks in Doha as "good and constructive" and said the two sides agreed to establish a joint task force between their interior ministries to follow up on decisions and agreements.
Security and economic stakes
نورنیوز said Momeni told Qatar that conditions were in place to further develop Iran-Qatar relations in security, trade and economic sectors. President Masoud Pezeshkian accepted Oil Minister Mohsen Paknejad’s resignation on Sunday and appointed National Iranian Oil Company chief Hamid Bovard as acting oil minister.
Central Bank Governor Abdolnaser Hemmati told state television that a US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent prediction would not come true, adding "We are sitting here now talking about the country’s economic achievements." Momeni held a separate meeting with Qatar’s interior minister and said the two sides agreed to establish a joint working group to follow up on decisions reached during the talks.
