Qatar PM to visit Tehran as third mediator in US-Iran talks

firstpost.com

Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani will visit Tehran Thursday to mediate between Iran and the US, focusing on the Strait of Hormuz. The visit follows diplomatic efforts by Pakistan and Oman amid stalled US-Iran talks. Oil exports through the strait have dropped from 20 million to 5 million barrels daily, with Iran and Oman discussing a temporary maritime arrangement. Qatar maintains close ties with Washington and regional governments, backing negotiations to reduce tensions. Pakistan's army chief and interior minister reported "significant progress" earlier this week, though no immediate breakthrough is expected as sanctions remain a key obstacle.
