Qatari sources 'involved in mediation efforts' told the Qatari newspaper Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that 'Qatar and Pakistan presented a mediation proposal that addresses the demands of the US and Iran. The proposal is intended to prevent escalation and paves the way for both sides to return to the negotiating table. The proposal, which was conveyed today by the Pakistani army commander to Iranian officials, received American approval, and Iran's consent was also obtained earlier. The proposal includes a partial response to the Iranian demand to release frozen Iranian funds.'
