Who Is Leading Qatar’s Latest Diplomatic Push With Iran

Qatar’s Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani traveled to Tehran on Thursday in an effort to reduce tensions between Iran and the United States. His spokesperson said the visit would focus on creating conditions for dialogue and restoring freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz.

The diplomatic push came after the UK Maritime Trade Operations agency reported that an oil tanker was hit by an unidentified projectile near Oman. The resulting fire was extinguished and all crew members were reported safe.

Shipping traffic remains far below pre-war levels. According to Kpler, only five vessels crossed the strait Tuesday, compared with more than 130 daily before the conflict.

Iran and Oman have agreed to a temporary maritime corridor, but Tehran says full reopening depends on U.S. commitments under a lapsed peace framework.
