Qatar has reportedly managed to secure a delay of at least two weeks in possible US military strikes against Iran, allowing additional time for diplomatic efforts between Washington and Tehran, APA reports.
Israeli television channel i24NEWS reported this, citing a diplomatic source.
Speaking on the issue at a meeting of G7 foreign ministers in Paris, Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said disagreements remained between the parties over lifting the naval blockade, Iran's nuclear program, and the release of frozen Iranian assets.
Meanwhile, Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that progress had been made in the negotiations and that mediators were continuing their efforts to bring the positions of the two sides closer together.
