Qatar said on Tuesday that mediation efforts between Washington and Tehran had gained momentum in recent days, with progress toward narrowing differences between the two sides, according to a statement by Qatar's Foreign Ministry.

Ibrahim bin Sultan Al Hashmi, director of media and communication at the ministry, said Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani had met US Vice President JD Vance and President Donald Trump in Washington on Monday to discuss the conflict with Iran.

He described the White House discussions as "positive" and said Qatar was working to bridge differences between Washington and Tehran, with details of any agreement to be announced once its terms were finalized.

Al Hashmi said both sides had spoken positively about a diplomatic solution despite a negative tone in recent media coverage.

He also warned that the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz, particularly with winter approaching, was worsening the global energy crisis and called for freedom of navigation to be restored as soon as possible.
