Qatar: Mediation between Iran and Saudi Arabia?note

Qatari Emir Tamim received a telephone call earlier this month (13/4/21) from Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, during which they exchanged greetings on the advent of the month of Ramadan.

Emir Tamim also received a verbal message from President Rouhani last Sunday (25/4/21), which was conveyed by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif during his visit to Doha.

Meanwhile, there is talk that Qatari-Iranian contacts have increased in preparation for a meeting between Emir Tamim and President Rouhani, to discuss a possible Qatari mediation between Tehran and Riyadh.

Tactical Report has prepared a 303-word report to shed more light on this subject.
