Ali Larijani, a senior Iranian official, held a phone conversation with Qatar's prime minister, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, as Iran faces deadly protests and increasing pressure from the United States. The Qatari leader emphasized his country's support for de-escalation and peaceful solutions in the region. This diplomatic outreach comes after Larijani publicly accused former United States President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being responsible for the deaths of Iranians. Tensions remain high following recent military confrontations involving Iran, the United States, and Qatar.
