Iran has confirmed Qatar-hosted talks aimed at ending the U.S.-Iran war, with Pakistan identified as the lead mediator. Mediators are also reportedly pursuing a stopgap Iran-U.S. arrangement to preserve a fragile cease-fire, while a Qatari negotiating delegation arrived in Tehran on Friday under U.S. coordination to address unresolved issues. Separately, Iranian state TV reported that Iran’s foreign minister held a second meeting with Pakistan’s army chief after earlier discussions on an Iranian proposal. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson said major differences with the United States remain, indicating that despite active diplomacy involving Qatar, Pakistan, and U.S. coordination, no breakthrough has been confirmed and a collapse of the cease-fire could heighten regional tensions and unsettle global oil markets.
