Mars Finance news. On April 4, according to WSJ, officials and mediators familiar with the situation said that Qatar refused to act as the key intermediary in a potential U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement, making efforts to find a path for negotiations even more complicated. People familiar with the matter said that last week, Qatar informed U.S. officials that it had no intention of playing a key role in mediation or leading related work.

Earlier on Friday, local time, mediators said that the latest round of efforts led by Pakistan by regional countries to prompt a U.S.-Iran ceasefire had fallen into a stalemate. Mediators said that Iran has officially informed the mediators that it is unwilling in the coming days to meet with U.S. officials in Islamabad, and that the U.S. demands are unacceptable.

Mediators also said that Turkey and Egypt are still working to find a way to resolve the issue, and are considering new venues for talks, including Doha, the capital of Qatar, or Istanbul, while also considering new proposals to break the stalemate. In addition, according to Iranian media outlet Fars News, sources said that Iran has rejected the 48-hour ceasefire proposal put forward by the United States.
