The Qatari government on Saturday welcomed the talks held between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran in Muscat, mediated by the Sultanate of Oman, according to a statement by the Qatari foreign ministry.
"It also praised the positive spirit that prevailed during the talks, as well as the statements made by both parties, in addition to the constructive role played by Oman in this context."
The Foreign Ministry affirmed Doha's "full support for the approach of diplomacy and dialogue to resolve all outstanding issues between the US and Iran, in line with its firm belief in the importance of promoting security, peace, and enhancing stability and development at both the regional and international levels."
“Trump wanted his State Secretary Marco Rubio to take part in the negotiations, but we insisted on Witkoff, and the US backed down," said Mahmoud Nabavian, deputy head of the Iranian Parliament's Foreign Policy Committee.
“In every aspect of the negotiations, whatever we said was accepted, and the American side gave ground," he told the Student News Network (SNN).
“Trump isn’t entirely crazy—he calculates. He’s brought in warships and aircraft to influence Iranian public opinion."
