Washington&#8217;s negotiating team returned to the region for the latest round of talks to end the Iran war.&#8221;Mr Steve Witfoff and Mr Jared Kushner are here in Doha to meet with mediators, with Qatari officials,&#8221; foreign ministry spokesman Majed Al Ansari said.The talks will be around all regional issues&#8230; including, of course, negotiations with Iran, but also including Lebanon,&#8221; he added. &#8220;They are not here for their negotiations with the Iranians.&#8221;Iran on Monday separately announced it will send delegations to Qatar this week, although Tehran
