Speaking at his weekly press briefing on Monday, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said Tehran had received initiatives through mediators but declined to disclose their details. “‘The proposals put forward through mediators have been conveyed to us, and we have received them. However, I would rather not go into their details at this stage,’ he said. Baqaei’s remarks came in response to reports that Qatar had presented new proposals to revive negotiations between Tehran and Washington, including speculation about a possible 10-day ceasefire.

"Iran made no request for negotiations with the US. However, we did not reject a request by one of the regional mediators to visit Iran and discuss the latest developments," Iran's foreign ministry spokesman said. "The visit took place today in Mashhad, and we conveyed our views and positions to the Qatari side," Esmail Baghaei told the state TV. The report frames Qatar as a mediator engaging Iran on negotiations, but does not mention any specific new negotiating proposals nor that he declined to provide details at that time.

A Qatari delegation visited Iran on Friday in what is believed to be an effort by Doha to consolidate its role as a mediator after a recent escalation in hostilities in the Gulf, Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported. A source with knowledge of the situation told Reuters on Friday that Qatari negotiators were meeting Iranian officials in an effort to de-escalate tensions and create conditions for broader negotiations, adding that the talks were being conducted in coordination with the United States.

During a briefing, Esmaeil Baghaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was asked about recent moves to resume negotiations, including a reported "10-day Iran-U.S. truce proposal" raised during the Iranian Foreign Minister's recent visit to Qatar. He confirmed that Iran has received proposals from mediators, including Qatar, aimed at easing tensions with the United States. "Various proposals have been conveyed through mediators, and while we have received them, I will not comment on the specific details at this time," Baghaei said, refraining from disclosing the contents of the mediation offers.

While Iran is sending its technical delegation to Qatar this week, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said this had "no relation" to the Americans' visit and no talks between the two sides were scheduled.

Another official with knowledge of the plans said technical teams from the U.S. and Iran are expected to meet separately with Qatari and Pakistani mediators on Wednesday.

On Friday, diplomatic delegations from Pakistan and Qatar visited Tehran to engage in separate mediation efforts aimed at achieving a peace agreement between Iran and the United States. However, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei urged caution, indicating that the visit did not imply a significant shift or decisive moment had been reached, emphasizing that the differences between Iran and the U.S. were substantial and complex. Baqaei also confirmed previous reports of a Qatari negotiating team in Tehran, which had discussions with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. The report notes Qatari negotiators and mediation but does not record Baqaei saying they "presented new negotiating proposals" or that he declined to describe them.

Qatar's foreign ministry spokesman Majed Al Ansari confirmed on Tuesday that Witkoff and Kushner were in Doha, but said "they are not here for their negotiations with the Iranians". The Iranian delegation is led by deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi, according to foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei, who confirmed Iran would hold its first meeting with mediators on Wednesday. Baqaei said on Tuesday that talks would be held with the Qatari side on the "provision concerning the release of Iran's restricted assets".

On Tuesday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said that the talks between the Iranian delegation and Qatari officials on Wednesday would focus on the release of Iran's frozen assets, and that no meetings with US officials at any level had been scheduled for the coming days. This coverage refers to talks with Qatari officials and mediation on assets, but it does not attribute to Baghaei any statement that Qatari mediators brought new negotiating proposals which he declined to detail.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson said in his weekly press briefing on Monday that conclusions have been reached on many topics discussed in the potential MoU. … “‘It is correct to say that we have reached a conclusion on a large portion of the issues under discussion. But to say that this means the signing of an agreement is imminent — no one can make such a claim,’ Esmaeil Baghaei, who was also recently appointed as spokesperson for Iran’s negotiating team with the US, said. … In the briefing, he also said that no nuclear issues would be included in the memorandum, except for a commitment to further negotiations within the next 60 days.

In this interview he did not provide details on the content of the Qatari delegation’s proposals.

In this period you have heard many news items and you will continue to hear them. All of these are speculations and guesses raised by various media, but none of them are confirmable. Esmaeil Baqaei in today’s press conference, in response to a question about the possibility of changing the mediator in a new round of possible negotiations, said that talk of changing the mediator in the new round of negotiations is only speculation and guesswork.

Iran's top negotiator and its foreign minister were in Doha for talks with Qatar's prime minister on a potential deal with the US to end the three-month-old war, an official briefed on the visit said on Monday, after Washington and Tehran played down hopes for an imminent breakthrough. Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said in a weekly briefing on Monday that a conclusion had been reached on many topics, but that does not mean that "we're close to signing an agreement." Baghaei said the potential memorandum of understanding contains 14 points and is focused on ending the war and the US naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, in exchange for Iran taking steps to ensure safe transit through the strategic waterway. The piece discusses ongoing negotiations and Baghaei's comments but does not quote him saying Qatari mediators have presented new negotiating proposals or that he declined to provide details about them.

However, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said Tehran expected an agreement only "in the coming days". The report notes Qatari mediators travelling to Tehran as part of the talks but does not state that Baghaei said they had presented new negotiating proposals or that he refused to give details of such proposals.

Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei, however, cautioned that the visit did not necessarily mean "we have reached a turning point or a decisive situation". He added that disagreements between Iran and the United States remained "deep and extensive", according to comments carried by Iran's ISNA news agency. Baqaei also confirmed that a delegation from Qatar held talks with Araghchi on Friday, noting that many countries, including Qatar, were trying to help bring the war to an end.

However, Baqaei made no reference to the details of the proposals.

Qatari negotiators are in Tehran for talks with Iranian officials aimed at easing tensions with the United States and preserving a fragile ceasefire agreement. In a broadcast segment, the presenter notes that "in the last hour, Iran's foreign ministry said it did not request negotiations with the US, but accepted the Qatari mediator's visit" to Tehran.

Baqaei added that details will be announced after they are finalized.

This study is based on my professional-grade knowledge as an AI model. Multiple 2026 news reports quote Esmaeil Baqaei/Baghaei, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, saying proposals from mediators including Qatar have been conveyed to Tehran, and explicitly stating he would not comment on or go into their details at that time. These reports consistently describe him making the remarks at a regular press briefing in Tehran, in the context of Qatar presenting new ideas to revive Iran-U.S. negotiations and ease tensions.

Iran will hold talks with mediator Qatar regarding its frozen assets, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei says, according to the short video description. This social media reel refers to Qatar as a mediator and mentions talks, but does not provide a detailed quote about Qatari mediators presenting new negotiating proposals or Baghaei declining to elaborate on them.

The spokesperson of the Foreign Ministry also, in response to a question about whether there is currently any plan for negotiations between Iran and the three European countries, said: we currently have no plan for negotiations. Regarding details related to the new round of negotiations, he said: our positions are clear, our demand is securing Iran’s national interests; we act based on the Non-Proliferation Treaty and on peaceful use of nuclear energy. He added: regarding the details, one must wait to see how the next steps of this diplomatic process will take place.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei says that the Iranian delegation in the Switzerland talks is seeking to ensure that the US follows through on its commitments over the long term. A one-day session is planned, featuring bilateral meetings with Pakistani and Qatari mediators in the morning, followed by quadrilateral talks in the afternoon involving Iran, the United States, Qatar, and Pakistan, he added. He framed the meeting as focused on the implementation of the agreement and did not publicly elaborate on any new negotiating proposals from the mediators.

Esmaeil Baqaei, spokesperson of the Foreign Ministry, in response to a question about the statements of the spokesperson of the Qatari Foreign Ministry regarding that country’s contacts with Tehran and Washington, said: the Islamic Republic of Iran has always appreciated the concern and good offices of friendly countries to help reduce tensions in the region. He referred to Qatar’s efforts as part of these mediatory initiatives, without going into specific details of the proposals or talks.

Baqaei said that a possible agreement with Iran does not contain specific details about the management of the Strait of Hormuz, through which about one-fifth of the world’s oil and liquefied gas passes. He said Iran does not charge ships transit fees, but there will be a cost for services provided such as navigation and environmental protection measures, under a protocol that must be agreed with Oman. These remarks came in the context of discussions about a potential peace agreement mediated by Qatar, but he did not reveal detailed terms of the Qatari-mediated negotiating proposals.

Esmaeil Baqaei, spokesperson of the Foreign Ministry, in an interview said: two, that regarding the details of issues related to nuclear topics, no negotiation has taken place at this stage. I repeat again; at this stage our focus is on ending the war. His comments indicate that while talks and mediatory efforts are underway, he avoids entering into operational details of the negotiating agenda.
