TEHRAN – Qatar’s prime minister on Wednesday telephoned Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, to share views about the latest developments in the region.
The telephone call by Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani came as tensions between Iran and the United States have entered a new stage, raising alarms in the region.
The Qatari prime minister and Larijani discussed ways to find “diplomatic solutions” for the pressing issues, an indirect reference to the boiling tension between Iran and the U.S.
Dancing to the tune of the Zionists, the United States’ Donald Trump has taken a much more aggressive approach toward Iran in his second term as president. In his first term, Trump pulled out of the 2015 nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), returned sanctions, and introduced a “maximum pressure” policy against Iran. This took place despite the fact that the JCPOA had been endorsed by UN Security Council resolution 2231.
In June 2025, Trump joined Israel, which initiated an unprovoked and surprise attack on Iran. The U.S. bombarded three Iranian nuclear sites, using B-2 bombers.
In his new remarks posted on Truth Social, Trump wrote the U.S. is seeking “A DEAL” with Iran. However, the U.S. is deploying the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln, destroyers, and other military assets to the region. In his Tuesday post, Trump said, “A massive Armada is heading to Iran. It is moving quickly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose.”
Officials in Tehran have threatened that if the U.S. resorts to military action against Iran, they will regret their action.
Talking to reporters after a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said diplomacy will fail to prove “effective” or “produce results” through military threats.
Araghchi said, “If they want negotiations, they must surely set aside exorbitant and illogical demands.”
