Qatar's former ruler Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani has died at age 74, state news agency says per CBS8.

The death marks the end of an era for Qatar, which he led from 1995 to 2013, during which time the country modernized rapidly, per Reuters.

Iran's delegation has left ongoing negotiations in Doha after a tense weekend, as tensions rise over regional conflicts, Bloomberg reports.

Flight QTR28N is climbing out of Doha at 7,425 ft, heading northeast, while two other flights are preparing for departure, according to live tracking data.
