Talks have been taking place for three consecutive days with Iranian negotiators meeting Qatari officials to discuss paths out of conflict, as tensions persist following US midterm elections. Qatar’s foreign ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari affirmed that both sides remain committed to reaching a diplomatic outcome despite the obstacles posed by continued military actions and threats to shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
