Qatar’s Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Al Thani met with Ali Larijani, head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, in Tehran on Saturday. The meeting focused on regional developments and efforts to reduce tensions at a time when concerns are rising over a possible U.S. attack on Iran.

In a statement released the same day, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry said the country supports any initiative aimed at de-escalation and achieving peaceful solutions that contribute to regional security and stability. The Qatari Prime Minister emphasized the need for coordinated efforts to protect the region’s people from war and reiterated Doha’s commitment to working diplomatically with friendly and brotherly nations.

Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump told Fox News that Gulf allies had not been informed about Washington’s plans regarding Iran, saying, “We cannot tell them the plan.”
