Qatar says mediation to restart US-Iran talks is ongoing

Qatar's Foreign Ministry spokesman Majed Al-Ansari said in New York on September 20, 2026, that Qatari mediation to restart Tehran-Washington talks to end the US-Israel war on Iran was ongoing. It follows Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed's August 2026 visit to Tehran. In late August 2026, President Trump said the U.S. was not talking to Iran.
