Qatar PM to visit Iran for talks aimed at easing Tehran-Washington ties

The visit comes as a tanker attack adds pressure to competing claims about Hormuz tensions between Iran and the United States.

Qatar Prime Minister will travel to Iran for talks on Thursday, with the stated goal of de-escalating tensions between Tehran and Washington, according to CNBC Markets.

CNBC World reported that the trip is part of efforts to reduce friction following a tanker attack, which is being viewed as a new test of U.S. assertions tied to Hormuz security.

As the visit underscores Qatar’s role as a regional intermediary, the talks are expected to focus on reducing the risk of further escalation between Iran and the United States.
