Iran and Qatar hold Doha talks on reopening Strait of Hormuz as war continues

Iran and Qatar continued talks in Doha on Sunday over a proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, as negotiations aim to end the US-Israeli war on Iran. No agreement has been reached, with Tehran preparing for both diplomacy and possible renewed military action. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said discussions with Qatari mediators are progressing, but no final conclusion has been reached on the proposal. The talks come ahead of the November 3 US midterm elections, with President Donald Trump stating he will not launch new attacks before the vote. Iran's Supreme Leader has ordered armed forces to prepare for any attack, while US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Trump prefers a diplomatic resolution. The eight-month-old conflict continues to disrupt global oil supplies, with Iran threatening to strike US and Israeli targets if attacked.
