Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, is scheduled to visit Tehran on Thursday to discuss efforts to reduce tensions and restart diplomatic talks between Iran and the United States.
Qatar’s Foreign Ministry said the visit is aimed at creating conditions for dialogue and finding diplomatic solutions to the ongoing conflict. Iran also confirmed the visit, saying discussions will include Qatar’s mediation efforts and wider regional developments.
Qatar has previously acted as a mediator between Washington and Tehran and helped broker a memorandum of understanding in June that temporarily halted hostilities. However, the agreement collapsed in July, and the conflict is now approaching its sixth month without a major diplomatic breakthrough.
Meanwhile, the United States has increased economic pressure on Iran through sanctions targeting its trade partners. US President Donald Trump said he was in no hurry to resume negotiations with Tehran and indicated that both economic and military pressure were producing results.
Iran has strongly criticised the sanctions. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi described them as “economic terrorism” and warned that they could affect civilians’ access to food, medicine, energy and other essential supplies.
Another major issue is the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global energy route. Oil shipments through the waterway have fallen sharply, with about 5 million barrels per day reportedly passing through it recently, compared with roughly 20 million barrels per day before the war.
Qatar’s prime minister is expected to discuss the future of the Strait of Hormuz during his Tehran meetings, while regional countries such as Oman and Pakistan continue diplomatic efforts to prevent the conflict from escalating.
Regional officials fear that a wider war could spread across the Middle East and cause significant damage to the global economy.
