The footage emerged from a quadrilateral meeting involving the United States, Iran, Pakistan and Qatar at the Burgenstock resort overlooking Lake Lucerne on Sunday, where diplomats gathered for discussions aimed at advancing a framework to end the ongoing Middle East conflict.
The clip circulated widely on X, with users portraying the interaction as a diplomatic snub. However, no government involved in the talks has publicly characterised the moment as such.
