As of November 4, 2026, Persian Gulf leaders fear a new escalation between the United States and Iran would be more destructive than previous conflicts. Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty expressed extreme concern on October 31 during a security forum in Bahrain, where regional diplomats warned that renewed war could cause significant damage. Meanwhile, Qatari mediators are working to broker an agreement; Iranian negotiators have been in Doha for three days of talks aimed at ending the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. Despite fresh US strikes and threats against shipping through the Strait of Hormuz complicating efforts, Qatar remains hopeful a deal can be reached, with its foreign ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari affirming both sides' commitment to diplomacy.
