Qatar urging US, Iran to find compromise

Qatar and a group of other countries are urging the U.S. and Iran to meet and find a compromise to de-escalate tensions, Reuters reported Sunday.

“We believe that at one point there should an engagement – it cannot last forever like this,” Qatari Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani told reporters in London on Sunday.

“Since they are not willing to engage in further escalation, they should come up with ideas that open the doors.”

He added Oman, Iraq and Japan have similarly urged de-escalation.

“All these countries are concerned what escalation could lead to,” he said, per Reuters. “There were attempts by Qatar and by other countries in the region to de-escalate the situation: we have been speaking to the U.S. and we have been talking to the Iranians as well.”
