Qatar delegation in Tehran as Iran weighs U.S. framework and rejects Trump timeline
Fars and Tasnim said Qatar was mediating with Tehran as Iran reviewed a U.S. framework deal, sent proposed terms before the attack on Lebanon, and said no agreement had been reached.
Fact Check
The Al Jazeera live blog independently confirms both core claims: that Fars News reported Tehran had not yet taken a final decision on the framework agreement, and that Qatari negotiators traveled to Iran to help conclude the deal. NBC News and the originating Odaily flash corroborate the Fars News attribution and Qatari mediation. The elements align across independent outlets dated June 14, 2026.
Summary

Fars, citing a source close to Iran’s negotiating team, said Iran had sent its proposed terms and details via the Qatari delegation hours before Israel attacked Lebanon, but no agreement was reached.
