00:00Qatar has called for a return to negotiations and says it remains in contact with all parties
00:05as uncertainty surrounds talks between Iran and the United States.
00:09Qatar supports the current condition of the ceasefire and we are aiming to see a continuation of the ceasefire
00:17until there is a diplomatic resolution.
00:19It has not been anyone's benefit to return to hostilities.
00:24That would, again, put more pressure on the international economy
00:26but also put the peoples of the region and all the countries of the region at risk.
00:31There are also mixed signals around talks in Islamabad
00:34with no clear indication of whether negotiations are moving forward.
00:38Qatar says it is in a strong position to weather any disruption
00:41but warns that if tensions in the Strait of Hormuz continue,
00:45the impact could extend far beyond the region.
00:48Our goal has always been for an end to this war that has put all of us at risk here
00:53in the region
00:54and put international economy and international energy markets in a very dangerous place.
00:59And therefore, for us, the goal has always been to end this war,
01:03get back to the negotiation table.
01:04Qatar says it is pushing to keep the ceasefire in place.
01:07But with tensions still high, much will depend on whether diplomatic efforts can hold in the coming days
01:12and prevent a return to escalation.
