Iran Urges ‘Dialogue’ between Qatar and Gulf Neighbors

Iran’s foreign ministry on Monday urged Qatar and neighboring Gulf Arab countries that have severed diplomatic ties with the gas-rich peninsula to engage in dialogue.

“The solution to differences between states in the region, including the current problem between Qatar and its three neighbors, is only possible through political and peaceful methods and dialogue between the parties,” foreign ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi said in a statement published on the ministry’s website.
