Qatar says efforts to reach a "short term resolution" between the United States and Iran that would prevent further escalation and restart direct talks are at an advanced stage, with draft language circulating between the two sides through regional mediators.
Foreign ministry spokesperson Dr Majed Al Ansari said on Tuesday that Qatar was working with Oman and Pakistan to exchange ideas and proposals between Washington and Tehran and that "the whole region is now working together" by exchanging ideas, to avoid any further escalation and find a resolution.
