Iran rejected a Qatari draft deal to end the war with the United States and Israel after mediators presented it Sunday, Asharq Al-Awsat reported. The draft sets a seven-day timeline for addressing Tehran’s and Washington’s concerns through daily confidence-building steps. The official said the timeline could start early next week, with several countries serving as guarantors.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Tehran remained in close contact with intermediaries and was giving diplomacy a chance. He said Iran’s own seven-day plan could be implemented in less than a week. A senior Iranian official separately dismissed the Qatari proposals as “unacceptable.” Qatar and Pakistan are leading mediation efforts to end the war, which began in February and has disrupted global shipping and oil supplies.
