DOHA, April 14 (Reuters) - There have been no discussions between Qatar and Iran over the payment of funds to stop Iranian attacks on Qatar and any suggestions that such discussions took place are untrue, the Qatari foreign ministry spokesperson said on Tuesday.

"There is a high level of coordination with Pakistan and the Unites States, our demands are being raised through these channels," Majed Al-Ansari said in a media briefing.
