Qatar PM visits Tehran to revive diplomacy as Trump says US not talking to Iran

channelnewsasia.com — August 28, 2026 at 12:02 AM UTC

Qatar's prime minister visited Tehran on Thursday to revive stalled diplomacy amid the six-month-old war, while US President Donald Trump said Washington is not currently talking to Iran. Trump told reporters the US is not seeking meetings with Iran, as the White House said economic pressure would continue until Tehran negotiates meaningfully. Major combat has paused, but no progress has been made on a peace agreement or reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route. Iran's security chief demanded the US meet conditions, including ending the blockade and removing sanctions, before reopening the strait. Qatar proposed a joint Iranian-Omani shipping corridor, while the White House said no negotiations are happening and all options remain on the table.
