- Both Iran and the United States remain committed to the negotiation track as mediation teams actively work to bridge remaining gaps
- Regional leadership is maintaining high-level coordination alongside international partners to de-escalate tensions and avoid broader conflict
The United States and Iran are actively reviewing a package of proposals aimed at finalizing a political understanding between both nations, Qatari Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Dr. Majed bin Mohammed Al Ansari stated during a weekly press briefing on Tuesday.
Addressing reporters, Al Ansari stated that diplomatic efforts to bridge differences between Washington and Tehran remain in full motion, saying that that both sides continue to demonstrate commitment to the negotiating table despite ongoing regional friction.
"There is very high-level coordination among the leaders of regional states to reach a resolution to the crisis and avoid the perils of escalation," Al Ansari said, adding that Doha continues to work closely with regional allies and the broader international community to resolve the standoff and build a durable, trust-based framework for regional peace.
Turning to maritime tensions across vital waterways, the spokesperson said that freedom of commercial shipping remains an absolute red line. "Freedom of navigation is a non-negotiable matter, and we reject any threats directed toward Qatari or other tankers," Al Ansari said.
Al Ansari also pushed back against external political rhetoric, explicitly rejecting accusations leveled by certain Israeli factions alleging Qatari meddling in domestic electoral processes. "We reject accusations from Israeli parties regarding interference in elections, and we will not accept being made a scapegoat," he added.
