A Qatari negotiating team arrived in Tehran on May 22 in coordination with the United States to assist in securing a deal to end the ongoing war with Iran and address unresolved issues, according to sources. Qatar, previously hesitant due to attacks during the conflict, has re-engaged as a mediator alongside Pakistan. While a ceasefire exists, key challenges remain, including Iran's uranium enrichment and control over the Strait of Hormuz, with negotiations showing some progress but no final agreement yet.
