> Qatar said on Tuesday that mediators were advancing efforts to bring the US-Iran war to an end. The statement helped push oil prices lower. Tehran, however, rejected US President Donald Trump's claim that talks were already underway. The conflicting accounts highlight disagreement over the status of any negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
