DUBAI, June 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Qatari negotiators travelled to Tehran to address remaining differences between the US and Iran, a diplomat told AFP on Wednesday, as talks between the warring sides appeared stalled.

"Following consultations with the US, Qatari negotiators travelled to Tehran this morning to meet with the Iranians in an effort to bridge the remaining gaps," the diplomat with knowledge of the situation said on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive talks.

The diplomatic effort came after Iran and the US exchanged fire following the downing of an American helicopter, further straining a ceasefire that took effect in April.
