Iran's foreign minister said Qatar is set to present the United States with new ideas aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway for global oil shipments.
According to the Iranian official, contacts related to the matter have become more serious since Tehran's latest proposal, with a final response from Washington expected soon.
The Strait of Hormuz has been a persistent flashpoint in tensions between Iran and Western countries, given its importance as a chokepoint for a significant share of the world's seaborne oil trade.
Qatar has periodically played a mediating role in indirect discussions between Iran and the United States, given its diplomatic ties with both parties.
Details of the specific proposals to be presented by Qatar were not disclosed, though the Iranian foreign minister's comments suggest an active, if still unresolved, diplomatic track aimed at easing tensions around the strait.
