Qatar pushes for US-Iran deal to prevent regional escalation

firstpost.com —

Qatar's prime minister said Saturday that mediation between the US and Iran continues to prevent regional escalation, expressing confidence a settlement is possible despite not seeking a "perfect agreement." Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani noted significant progress and said Washington remains willing to find a solution after the midterm elections. He emphasized hoping for a "good agreement" rather than waiting for a perfect one. Iran's Tasnim news agency reported two missiles struck Qeshm Island, though no official damage details or US confirmation of attacks exist. Iran has proposed a seven-day plan, rejected by Trump, involving lifted port blockades and unfrozen assets.
