Qatar delegation in Tehran to bridge gaps in talks as Iran signals 'review'of negotiations

Washington/ Tehran, June 10 (UNI) Tensions escalated between Iran and the United States following a fresh exchange of missiles after accusations from President Donald Trump alleging that Tehran was behind the downing of an Apache helicopter.
The growing distrust between Tehran and Washington has deepened further, with Iranian officials saying Tehran is now "reviewing" its approach to ongoing negotiations with the United States as there have been five instances when the already fragile ceasefire was tested.
To "narrow or bridge the remaining gaps" in the indirect negotiations with the United States, may be the distrust, a Qatari delegation arrived in Tehran on Wednesday morning for high-level talks with Iranian negotiators , as per the CNN reports.
