Qatar's Prime Minister visited Tehran on Thursday to push for de-escalation and renewed US-Iran dialogue, focusing on reopening the Strait of Hormuz amid stalled diplomacy and high regional tensions. Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani met Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, discussing a phased plan for a temporary shipping corridor and mine clearance. Qatar stressed freedom of navigation and sovereignty, with Araghchi thanking Doha for mediation efforts. The visit comes nearly six months into the war, with fighting paused but no breakthrough. Qatar's LNG exports fell to 18 cargoes from 509, and oil flows through Hormuz dropped to 5 million barrels daily from 20 million.
