Qatar Foreign Ministry: Mediation Efforts Between Washington and Tehran Continue.. Positive Reactions from Both Sides

The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that it continues to mediate between the United States and Iran, led by Doha, emphasizing positive responses from both sides to find a way out of the current crisis.

Ibrahim Al-Hajri, Director of the Media and Communications Department at the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs, affirmed that Qatar is working tirelessly to end the uncertainty and the “neither peace nor war” situation prevailing in the crisis between Washington and Tehran.

Al-Hajri said in the weekly briefing by the Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs that the meeting held between Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and US President Donald Trump at the White House was “positive,” reflecting progress in the course of negotiations.

Qatar warned of the economic and strategic consequences of continued tensions, noting that the approach of winter, coupled with the ongoing closure of the Strait of Hormuz, increases the high cost of the ongoing crisis between Washington and Tehran and its impacts on energy supplies and navigation.

The Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned the attacks targeting Saudi Arabia, affirming Doha’s full solidarity with Riyadh and its absolute support for all measures taken by the Kingdom to safeguard its security and stability.
