Qatar says mediation efforts aimed at easing tensions between the United States and Iran have made progress, although direct negotiations between Washington and Tehran have not yet resumed.
Qatari officials say diplomatic channels remain active through regional mediators, with discussions focused on Iran's nuclear program, sanctions relief, regional security, and the future of the Strait of Hormuz.
According to Qatar's Foreign Ministry, technical contacts are continuing between the parties, both directly and indirectly, even as no new high-level meeting has been confirmed.
Officials say the Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most sensitive issues under discussion because of its importance to global energy supplies and international shipping.
Qatar has reiterated its position that freedom of navigation through the strategic waterway must be maintained while diplomatic efforts continue to reduce regional tensions.
Despite encouraging signs, major disagreements remain over nuclear activities, sanctions, and broader security guarantees, leaving negotiators with significant challenges before any formal agreement can be reached.
Regional mediators say they remain committed to keeping communication channels open, expressing hope that continued diplomacy can prevent further escalation and create conditions for future direct negotiations.
