Qatar steps in to mediate as Trump says US not talking to Iran

The Qatari Prime Minister has traveled to Tehran to mediate between Iran and the United States while diplomacy remains stalled. Officials from Qatar and Iran are holding talks regarding the Strait of Hormuz to reduce war escalation and establish conditions for future dialogue. These efforts occur as a US blockade restricts Iranian oil exports and a recent tanker attack challenges claims that the strait remains functioning. The diplomatic push comes as the conflict between Iran and the US nears the six-month mark.
