DOHA, Qatar — The United States and Iran have concluded another round of indirect technical negotiations in Doha, with Qatari mediators reporting “positive progress” on issues related to the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the two countries on June 17.
The talks, held through intermediaries, focused on implementing the commitments outlined in the agreement as both sides continue efforts to reduce tensions following months of regional instability.
Iranian officials announced that a dedicated communication channel will be established between Tehran and Washington to report, monitor, and discuss any alleged violations of the MoU. The mechanism is expected to improve transparency and help prevent misunderstandings that could undermine the agreement.
Meanwhile, Tehran has lodged a formal protest with the United Nations over what it described as Israel’s latest threats against Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. Iranian authorities condemned the remarks as an act of “state terrorism” and called on the international community to take action against what they described as inflammatory rhetoric.
The diplomatic developments come as US President Donald Trump said efforts toward the denuclearisation of Iran are progressing well, expressing optimism about the ongoing negotiations.
Elsewhere in the region, violence continued despite diplomatic efforts. Israeli military operations in Gaza reportedly killed five Palestinians, while Israeli forces also carried out additional strikes in southern Lebanon, despite existing ceasefire arrangements aimed at preventing further escalation.
The latest round of talks in Doha is being viewed as another step toward maintaining dialogue between Washington and Tehran, even as broader regional security challenges remain unresolved.
