Doha secured two-week window to prevent US attack on Iran, Qatari PM tells G7 ministers
Al Thani told G7 participants that significant differences remained between Washington and Tehran, with several key issues still unresolved.
Qatar's Prime Minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, informed G7 foreign ministers in Paris that Doha had secured a "minimum of two weeks" to engage in diplomatic efforts, with the aim of reaching an understanding between the United States and Iran before a potential US attack on Iran. The prime minister met with both G7 foreign ministers and Saudi Arabia's counterpart after discussing with US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance at the White House on Tuesday.
Qatar has become the primary mediator in negotiations between Washington and Tehran to avert a renewed conflict.
Upon his meeting with Al Thani, Trump expressed optimism regarding ending the war with Iran, stating that Iran had been "militarily, effectively over," though he did not rule out the possibility of additional strikes. During the Paris talks, Al Thani informed the participants that substantial differences remained between Washington and Tehran, with several critical issues still pending resolution.
These include the timeline for implementing any potential agreement, the lifting of the naval blockade, the matter of Iran's nuclear program, and the unfreezing of Iranian funds. Al Thani also stressed the importance of restoring trust between the two nations in order to bring them back to the negotiating table.
