Svmuu News: The technical negotiation teams from the U.S. and Iran responsible for implementing the interim peace agreement are set to hold talks in Doha, Qatar, in the coming days. Last weekend, both sides launched a series of retaliatory strikes, which at one point brought the already fragile ceasefire agreement to the brink of collapse.
Sources familiar with the negotiations added that mediators have established communication channels to de-escalate emergencies, and technical consultations will continue. However, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi sent mixed signals on Monday via Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, stating that no technical working group meetings were scheduled for this week and that the Qatar talks had not yet been finalized. He also noted that routine consultations between Iran and Qatar are proceeding as usual, including follow-up verification of each side’s compliance with the agreement’s commitments. (Reuters)
