Rubio, Witkoff Meet Qatari PM in Miami to Expedite Deal with Iran, Reports Axios

  • On Saturday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and White House envoy Steve Witkoff met with Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani in Miami to negotiate an end to the war in Iran.
  • Following a Friday meeting with Vice President Vance in Washington, Al-Thani changed his travel plans to join the Miami discussions instead of returning to Doha.
  • While Pakistan serves as the official mediator, The Qataris are working behind the scenes by coordinating with Egypt, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia to push for an agreement.
  • Participants focused on establishing a memorandum of understanding to halt fighting, as mediators are urging Washington and Tehran to "de-escalate and focus on getting a deal."
  • The State Department confirmed the meeting, noting that Rubio thanked Qatar for its partnership on a "range of issues" and discussed US support for Qatar's defense and Middle East stability.
