Qatari mediators return to Tehran for further talks with Iran

Qatari mediators arrived in Tehran on the evening of 2 November 2026 to resume discussions on a possible Iran–United States agreement, according to informed interlocutors cited separately by Reuters and The Times of Israel.

The talks concern a proposal linking a rapid reopening of the Strait of Hormuz to US sanctions relief, followed by nuclear negotiations, according to the diplomat interviewed by The Times of Israel. Reuters also reports the visit and continued work on a version of the draft.

Abbas Araghchi described intensive indirect consultations in an IRNA interview carried by AFP. The mediators’ return continues the exchanges after the Doha round; the sources consulted establish neither an accepted final agreement nor a binding timetable for reopening the strait.
