Qatar said that despite rising tensions and concerns about renewed fighting,
negotiations between Iran and the United States remain underway and both sides
are actively engaged, Qatari foreign ministry spokesman Majedal-Ansari said at
the Global Security Forum in Doha. He said, "Talks on the JCPOA are still
underway; we see both sides actively engaged." He stressed the importance of
confidentiality, adding, "The fact that the outside world has not heard related
reports precisely shows we are properly carrying out our duties."
