The Qatari Foreign Ministry has said that Doha is “working tirelessly to end the uncertainty over the crisis between Washington and Tehran”.
Ibrahim bin Sultan Al-Hashmi, director of the ministry’s media and communication department, told a weekly news briefing that mediation efforts are ongoing and there are positive reactions from both sides of the crisis.
