> Qatar’s prime minister met Iranian officials in Tehran to discuss the Strait of Hormuz, including a proposed temporary shipping corridor and possible joint mine-clearing efforts. They also reviewed ways to reduce escalation and create conditions for renewed US-Iran dialogue, but no agreement has been reached. Iran says reopening the strait depends on Washington lifting its naval blockade, unfreezing Iranian assets and removing oil sanctions.
