Reuters reported earlier on Sunday that Qatar’s emir was due to travel to Iran and later Germany, Britain and other European states.
His trips was aimed at discussing efforts to revive Iran’s 2015 nuclear deal and energy security in Europe.
“Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani will travel to Iran tomorrow to follow up on recent agreements and expand bilateral ties, notably cooperation on the holding of the 2022 Football World Cup,” IRNA said on Wednesday.
The talks involve Iran, Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia directly, and the United States indirectly.
But the U.S. unilaterally withdrew in 2018 under then-president Donald Trump and re-imposed stiff economic sanctions, prompting Tehran to begin rolling back on its commitments.
