What message did Qatar send back to Tehran? Is the agreement close or a new impasse? The return of Qatar's senior delegation to Tehran on Friday, October 30, at the same time as the diplomatic efforts to prevent the escalation of the war between Iran and the US, has become particularly important. This trip was made after the letter of J. Dee Vance, the Vice President of the United States, was transferred to Mohsen Razai and presented Qatar's new proposal to establish a confidence-building framework between Tehran and Washington. A move apparently made in order to monitor Iran's response to America's message. Reports indicate that Washington wants the nuclear issue to be placed at the beginning of the negotiations, while Tehran emphasizes the establishment of the naval blockade, restrictions on oil exports and economic pressures before entering into new negotiations. Qatar's initial proposals were also criticized by an Iranian official. Meanwhile, the meeting between Pazkhian and the Emir of Qatar and Iran's regional consultation with Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey gave wider dimensions to the diplomatic activity. However, no agreement has yet been announced to begin formal negotiations and Qatar's new mission should be seen as a test to overcome the differences between Tehran and Washington.
