Another Iranian news agency Tasnim said the purpose of the visit was to "go over the latest developments regarding the diplomatic process".


 


A diplomat with knowledge of the situation told AFP on Sunday that "Qatari negotiators flew to Tehran this morning".


 


Speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive talks, the diplomat said the delegation travelled "to help facilitate the finalisation of the agreement".


 


Pakistan, which has led mediation to end the months-long Middle East war, and the US have indicated an agreement to end the fighting would be signed on Sunday.


 


But Tehran has cast doubt on that timing, and Iranian media has reported a final decision on the framework is yet to be made.
