US Ambassador and Iranian delegation in Doha

US Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley met with Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani in Doha, where an Iranian delegation arrived yesterday on the eve of the start of Iranian-American talks in the Qatari capital on Tehran’s nuclear program. Indirect talks between Washington and Tehran are scheduled in Qatar this week. And the US embassy in Doha tweeted yesterday that Mali met with Qatar’s foreign minister “and they discussed a strong partnership between the United States and Qatar and a joint diplomatic effort on Iran.” For its part, the Iranian news agency IRNA reported that the chief negotiator of the Islamic Republic, Ali Bagheri, and members of the delegation accompanying him arrived in Doha. It comes after Iran and the United States announced on Monday their intention to resume indirect talks between them in Qatar this week in a new attempt to revive the 2015 nuclear deal. On Tuesday, Doha welcomed the holding of a round of talks to be held under the auspices of the European Union coordinator.
