“Qatar has urged an end to the Iran war and a return to negotiations on Tuesday, saying it is in contact with all parties as uncertainty surrounds US-Iran talks in Islamabad.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence confirms Qatar urged diplomacy and talks regarding US-Iran tensions, but the specific phrasing 'urged an end to the Iran war' and the mention of 'Islamabad' are not independently corroborated across the search results. The evidence is suggestive but lacks multiple confirmations for the full claim.
