Urgency: Watch · Evidence: Attributed claim
What the sources establish
Al Jazeera interviewed Ghalibaf directly. Reuters earlier relayed Mohsen Rezaei’s denial that negotiations were underway. The two remarks may describe different stages of contact. No proposal text, US acknowledgement of receipt or accepted terms were verified. Qatar’s earlier position is retained. The November 10 date and representative Qatar marker refer to earlier mediation reporting.
Evidence last checked: 11 Nov 2026 19:37 UTC.
Corrections and updates
November 11 update. Added Ghalibaf’s account that Tehran sent its terms and was waiting for a decision. The channel, receipt and outcome remain unverified.
2 Nov 2026 09:58 UTC — First published with attributed claims, representative mapping and stated evidence limitations.
6 Nov 2026 00:25 UTC — Added the November 5 Reuters nuclear-proposal account while retaining the earlier draft-circulation source and uncertainty about whether texts match. Adopted date-only reporting time, coarsened Doha to a Qatar country marker and removed the older impact sentence to avoid conflation.
7 Nov 2026 00:32 UTC — Added Qatar's reported denial of a failure announcement and continuing-efforts position, without treating either as evidence of agreement. Advanced the date-only reporting reference to November 6; retained the country marker and earlier proposal limitations.
9 Nov 2026 23:00 UTC — Added the latest attributed US, Qatari and Iranian positions under the existing mediation ID, without asserting agreement or an end to hostilities. Advanced the date-only reporting reference to November 9 and retained the country marker, original first publication and earlier proposal limitations.
10 Nov 2026 13:08 UTC — Added the November 10 ministry briefing's two-sided response claim and the reported Iranian denial; advanced date-only reporting while preserving the mediation parent, original publication and unresolved proposal details.
10 Nov 2026 17:12 UTC — Added Rubio’s attributed assessment under the retained mediation parent, without asserting sanctions effectiveness, a halt to operations or agreement. Preserved earlier positions, unresolved drafts, date-level reference, country marker, first publication and history.
10 Nov 2026 19:11 UTC — Added the Iranian official’s attributed no-talks and no-clear-response claims, preserving the US and Qatari positions and uncertainty over channels and terms. Retained original first publication, date-level reference, country marker, sources and history.
11 Nov 2026 19:37 UTC — Added Ghalibaf’s interview under the existing mediation record and retained the earlier attributed positions, date and country marker.
