“He sent a message to Iran.” Hamad bin Jassim calls for understandings between the countries of the region and the removal of foreign interference from their affairs

- Former Qatari Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim spoke about the efforts made by Qatar to resolve the conflict between Iran and America, and said that he considers everyone to be a loser in the war, sending a message to Iranian politicians that they should realize that peace brings greater and greater gains. Hamad bin Jassim wrote in a post on his official account on the “X” platform, formerly Twitter, on Sunday evening: “I hope that the efforts my country is making to resolve the ongoing conflict in our region will be crowned with success.

I believe that everyone loses in wars, and that what unites the countries of the region, including Iran, Pakistan, Turkey and Iraq, is much greater than what divides them.” Hamad bin Jassim went on to say: “Let us imagine if the peoples of this region, which number about half a billion people, including the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council, cooperated to make our region a space for exchanging benefits and experiences, and allowing freedom of investment, trade and export without restrictions, similar to the experience of the European Union.

Let us begin economic cooperation between us. The gains will be great, and its fruits will be stability and prosperity for all countries in the region.” The former Qatari Prime Minister added: “As for wars, they will not lead to meaningful results, and even the victor in them will be defeated.

We will remain in this region as we have been throughout history. No one can carry his homeland like a tent and move it to another region,” he said. Hamad bin Jassim stressed: “Therefore, politicians in Iran should realize that peace brings greater and more abundant gains for everyone.

Once the countries of the region reach understandings, resolve their differences, and remove foreign interference from their affairs, everyone will respect their will, and we will work together to lift the blockade imposed on Iran. Our cooperation is capable of achieving many common achievements and gains, so do not make us continue this hostility.

Qatar mediates between the two parties by circulating a framework document that both Washington and Tehran are working to amend. This operation has been going on for weeks, and perhaps months, but its pace has accelerated in recent days amid fears of new strikes.

US President Donald Trump told Ofoq News on Sunday that renewed US military attacks are "extremely unlikely" if Tehran makes progress toward reaching an agreement on its nuclear program and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. He also told CBS' "60 Minutes" that he was "not seeking" to escalate the war.

However, Trump made clear that the military option is still on the table. For his part, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Sunday that “it cannot be said that we are on the cusp of achieving a breakthrough” regarding negotiations with Iran.

Iran and the United States are negotiating a sensitive agreement that would prevent a return to all-out war and open the door to broader talks.
