US President Donald Trump confirmed Friday evening that negotiations are underway between Qatar and Iran, stating that Iranian officials are interested in reaching an agreement. Trump indicated his intention to allow the talks to continue and provide additional time for progress.

The confirmation marks a significant diplomatic development in efforts to de-escalate tensions with Iran. Qatar has been serving as a mediator in the negotiations, a role it has maintained across multiple US administrations.

The timing of Trump’s statement suggests an active diplomatic channel remains open on the Iranian nuclear issue, though details of the specific terms being discussed have not been disclosed.
