Qatar says regional tensions can only be resolved through negotiations rather than through further confrontation. Diplomatic efforts are continuing as officials try to ease the security crisis. A practical objective is to restore shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which has been restricted amid the dispute. Qatar is presenting talks as the way to restore calm and maritime access. The statement did not identify the countries or mediators involved, and no deadline was set for an agreement. Any resumption of shipping through the waterway would depend on sustained dialogue and a settled regional situation.
