An Iranian delegation left for Doha, but negotiations with the United States are not on the agenda, the "Tasnim" news agency reported. According to Tasnim, the visit was intended to promote the latest discussions between Tehran and Doha. Earlier, an Axios report claimed that Qatari mediators were making progress in efforts to revive direct talks between the US and Iran, after holding more than 12 hours of talks with Iranian officials in Tehran on Friday, October 30. Axios quoted a source as saying that "talks are still ongoing in an effort to open an agreement between the US and Iran," while reporting that discussions will continue in Doha on Saturday. Meanwhile, Iranian officials have repeatedly denied claims of progress, raising questions about the credibility of such reports and raising suspicions that optimistic diplomatic headlines are being used to influence oil prices and financial markets.
