Qatar emir to visit Iran amid regional crisis
Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani will visit Tehran, the government said yesterday, amid soaring tensions following the US killing of an Iranian commander and retaliatory strikes.
Qatar is close to the US and hosts Washington’s largest military base in the region, but it also enjoys strong ties with Tehran, with whom it shares the world’s largest gas field.
Sheikh Tamim will meet with President Hassan Rouhani and other top Iranian leaders, Qatar-based broadcaster Al Jazeera reported.
