Doha, Qatar: Dr Majed bin Mohammed, a senior adviser to the Prime Minister and spokesperson for Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, confirmed on Monday that Qatar is intensifying its efforts to mediate between the United States and Iran. The aim is to prevent further regional escalation and secure a diplomatic resolution to the ongoing crisis.
Dr Al Ansari revealed that a delegation from Qatar had recently met with Iranian counterparts in Tehran for over three hours. The discussions focused on exchanging proposals and narrowing the gaps between the two nations. He noted that despite regional tensions, both sides have maintained their commitment to the negotiation process and are reviewing the proposals on the table.
He emphasized that Qatar's mediation efforts are being undertaken in full coordination with regional partners, particularly the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states. Dr Al Ansari highlighted the shared agreement among GCC countries on the need to de-escalate the situation and protect their populations from further tensions.
The Qatari government has strongly condemned any actions that threaten freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and the Arabian Gulf. Dr Al Ansari stressed that any aggression, whether military or targeting vessels in Gulf waters, poses a danger to the entire region and compromises the ongoing negotiations.
Regarding Yemen and the Houthi situation, Dr Al Ansari reiterated Qatar's support for the legitimate Yemeni government and people. Qatar has consistently condemned Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia and reaffirmed its backing for the Kingdom and the implementation of GCC agreements.
Dr Al Ansari also discussed Qatar's relations with Russia and Iran. He mentioned that Qatar's Amir recently visited Moscow, where talks addressed the regional crisis and the potential role of Russia and other international partners in achieving a resolution. The Amir also met with Iran's president, as part of ongoing bilateral engagements with Iranian officials.
