A Qatari negotiating team arrived in Tehran on Friday to help secure a deal ending the war with Iran and resolving outstanding issues. The team is working in coordination with the United States, according to a source with knowledge of the matter.
Doha has previously served as a mediator in the Gaza war and other international tensions. It had distanced itself from mediation in the Iran conflict after coming under attack from Iranian missiles and drones. The source said the new effort marks a shift in Qatar's approach to the current war.
Qatari team was reported by Reuters on May 22, 2026. The source described the mission as aimed at ending the war and addressing unresolved matters between the parties. Futures markets rose on the news of the reported diplomatic initiative.
