Qatar and other regional powers sought an off-ramp from the war with Iran on Thursday as another tanker attack was reported in the Strait of Hormuz, and the Iranian government dismissed the Trump administration’s latest sanctions.
Diplomatic efforts by Qatar included a meeting between Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, focusing on reducing escalation and a proposed plan for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Organization reported that an oil tanker was hit by an unknown projectile, but the crew was safe and there were no environmental damages. Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has increased recently, although it remains below pre-war levels.
地区大国寻求与伊朗战争的缓解方案及其他中东动态
卡塔尔和其他地区大国在周四寻求与伊朗战争的缓解方案，同时霍尔木兹海峡又有油轮遭到袭击，伊朗政府对特朗普政府最新的制裁表示驳斥。
卡塔尔的外交努力包括外长谢赫穆罕默德·本·阿卜杜勒拉赫曼·阿尔萨尼与伊朗外长阿巴斯·阿拉赫奇的会晤，重点讨论减少升级和确保霍尔木兹海峡安全通行的提议。
