Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani will travel to Tehran on Thursday to meet Iranian officials and discuss ways to de‑escalate tensions and revive dialogue between Iran and the United States. A spokesman for Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on X that the visit reflects Qatar's belief that diplomatic engagement is the best path to regional security and stability. Sheikh Mohammed, also the foreign minister, will meet a number of Iranian officials to discuss de‑escalation and the creation of conditions for dialogue, according to the foreign ministry. Iran confirmed the visit, saying the talks will cover Qatar's mediation efforts and other regional developments. The United States and Israel began a conflict against Iran in February, which has now lasted nearly six months with fighting largely paused but no diplomatic breakthrough in sight. U.S. President Donald Trump told Al Jazeera that he sees no urgency in returning to talks and that economic and military pressure can be effective, adding that he has no set timetable for negotiations. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi wrote to the United Nations that the new sanctions constitute an act of state and economic terrorism and that they harm civilians by restricting essential goods, urging member states not to implement them. He said the sanctions violate rights to life, health, food and an adequate standard of living. The two sides remain at odds over control of the Strait of Hormuz, a waterway that previously handled about 20 million barrels of crude oil per day. Since the conflict began, daily shipments have fallen to roughly 5 million barrels, a three‑month low. Iran seeks authority over the strait, while the United States insists the waterway must remain open to all. Qatar's foreign ministry said the prime minister will also address the strait, seeking a return to the pre‑February 28 arrangement. The visit follows Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi's meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi in Tehran earlier this week. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said the two countries agreed on a temporary shipping route in the strait, but said reopening will depend on U.S. fulfillment of the June memorandum, including sanction relief and release of frozen assets. Pakistan's army chief Asim Munir visited Tehran earlier in the week, stating that Islamabad sees significant progress toward ending the conflict. Mohammad Khoshcheshm, a professor at the University of Applied Sciences in Tehran, said regional countries are intensifying diplomatic efforts because they fear escalation could trigger a wider war that would damage the global economy.
