DOHA: Mediating country Qatar on Sunday confirmed the start of talks between the United States and Iran in Switzerland aimed at a permanent end to the Middle East war. 

In a statement Qatar’s foreign ministry announced “the launch of the Lake Lucerne Summit and the first meeting of the high-level committee with the participation of representatives from the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the two mediating states, the State of Qatar and the Islamic Republic of Pakistan”.

The gas-rich emirate added it hoped the meetings would “lead to a comprehensive and lasting agreement addressing all aspects covered by the Memorandum of Understanding”, referring to an accord signed by the US and Iran earlier this week.

After Pakistan did all the work the Taliban supporters trying get their name in there is funny. I think Qatar will be better if they focus on not getting their behind kicked by Iran again.
