Qatar announces conclusion of separate talks between Qatari and Pakistani mediators and Iranian and US delegations in Doha.

The Qatari foreign ministry made the announcement on Wednesday, citing "positive progress" on issues related to an Islamabad-mediated memorandum of understanding that was signed between Tehran and Washington last month.

The parties agreed to continue the process, with the next round of talks to be scheduled "as soon as possible," it added.

Explaining the most recent episode, a spokesperson for the ministry said the mediators concluded separate meetings with the American and Iranian delegations in the Qatari capital.

The official linked the "progress" to the outcome of the talks that were held last month in Switzerland on the manner of implementation of the MoU.

Earlier, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi said the Doha meetings focused on implementation of the memorandum, including US violations of the understanding.

He cited the violations as those concerning commitments under Clause 1 of the memorandum regarding the cessation of war in Lebanon, reports of US efforts to reinforce equipment and forces in the region, and some threatening and interventionist statements by American officials.

The MoU was signed electronically on June 18 by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and US President Donald Trump, with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif serving as mediator.

It is aimed at ending the cycle arising out of the latest bout of unprovoked American-Israeli aggression against Iran that lasted from February 28 to April 7.
