Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani has said mediation efforts between the United States and Iran are continuing, to prevent further escalation in the region.
According to reports, Al-Thani said Washington remained willing to reach an agreement despite the outcome of Tuesday’s midterm elections.
He said the United States’ interest in finding a diplomatic solution had not changed and significant progress had been made in the negotiations.
Al-Thani expressed confidence that a settlement could be reached, stating “We cannot wait to reach a perfect agreement, we hope to reach a good agreement.”

However, Tehran has proposed a seven-day plan to resolve the dispute, which it first put forward in September.
The proposal calls on Washington to lift its blockade of Iranian ports, unfreeze Iranian assets and approve an Iran-backed route through the Strait of Hormuz to allow the waterway to reopen.
