Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani has urged all sides involved in the Middle East war to de-escalate.
– “We will continue talking to the Iranians; we will continue trying to seek de-escalation,” the prime minister said in a Sky News interview.
– Sheikh Mohammed said that recent events delivered “a huge shake-up” to the trust underpinning the relationship with Iran.
– “For the US, we would like to see a de-escalation. We would like to see … a diplomatic solution that addresses our concerns as well as their concerns,” he added.
– “We need to ensure first that Iran should stop all attacks against Gulf countries and other countries that they are attacking and are not party of this war,” said Sheikh Mohammed.
– The US and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iran last week, prompting Tehran to fire missiles towards Israel and several Gulf locations hosting US military facilities.
