卡塔尔周二敦促伊朗“展现善意”，停止对地区国家的威胁并重新开放霍尔木兹海峡。与此同时，与美方达成协议的努力仍在继续。卡塔尔外交部媒体与传播司司长易卜拉欣·本·苏丹·阿勒哈希米在多哈举行的每周简报会上表示：“我们已听到伊朗方面在这一问题上的积极表态，但他们仍需展现善意。”他说，卡塔尔代表团近期访问德黑兰，是与巴基斯坦及其他地区伙伴开展的调解努力的一部分。
Qatar urged Iran on Tuesday to “show goodwill” by stopping threats against countries in the region and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, as efforts to broker a deal with the United States continued." We have heard positive statements from the Iranian side on this issue, but they still need to show goodwill,” Ibrahim bin Sultan Al Hashmi, director of the foreign ministry’s Media and Communication Department, told a weekly briefing in Doha. He said a Qatari delegation’s recent visit to Tehran was part of mediation efforts with Pakistan and other regional partners.
当被问及该代表团是否携带了新提案时，阿勒哈希米表示，双方仍在交换信息和想法。他没有透露提案的细节，也没有宣布取得突破。他说，华盛顿和德黑兰都谈到了局势进一步升级以及外交解决的可能性。“调解方始终紧守这一线希望，”他说。地区安全会谈周一，沙特国防大臣哈立德·本·萨勒曼亲王、巴基斯坦陆军参谋长阿西姆·穆尼尔和土耳其情报部门负责人易卜拉欣·卡林在德黑兰会见了伊朗领导人。
Asked whether the delegation had carried a new proposal, Al Hashmi said messages and ideas were still being exchanged with both sides. He gave no details of a proposal and did not announce a breakthrough. Both Washington and Tehran had spoken about further escalation as well as the possibility of a diplomatic solution, he said.“The mediator always holds on to this window of hope,” he said. Regional security talksOn Monday, Saudi Defence Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman, Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir and Turkish intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin met Iranian leaders in Tehran.
三国于8月签署了《麦加共同防御条约》。伊朗官方媒体称，四国同意继续就和平与安全进行会谈。阿勒哈希米表示，卡塔尔及其海湾邻国已准备好参与一个基于尊重主权和承诺互不攻击的地区安全框架。他说，沙特的努力与卡塔尔和巴基斯坦的工作相辅相成。此次会谈举行之际，也门伊朗支持的胡塞武装正持续袭击沙特阿拉伯。
The three countries signed the Mecca mutual defence pact in August. Iranian state media said all four countries agreed to continue talks on peace and security. Al Hashmi said Qatar and its Gulf neighbours were ready to take part in a regional security framework based on respect for sovereignty and a commitment not to attack one another. He said Saudi Arabia’s efforts complemented the work of Qatar and Pakistan. The talks come amid continuing attacks on Saudi Arabia by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthis.
埃及议会周一授权提供军事支持，帮助保卫沙特。美国和伊朗在协议条款上仍存在分歧。德黑兰希望美国解除对其港口的封锁，并取消对伊朗石油出口的制裁。
Egypt’s parliament on Monday authorised military support to help defend the kingdom. The US and Iran remain divided over the terms of a deal. Tehran wants the US blockade of its ports lifted and sanctions on Iranian oil exports removed.
华盛顿要求伊朗减少核浓缩。这场战争始于2月底美国和以色列对伊朗的打击。伊朗对航运的限制以及美国的封锁严重扰乱了经由霍尔木兹海峡的交通，而该海峡是海湾石油和天然气出口的关键通道。上周，在伊朗袭击海峡附近的油轮之后，布伦特原油价格升至每桶117美元（105欧元）以上，为4月以来的最高水平。澳新银行研究显示，经霍尔木兹海峡的原油流量约为正常水平的60%。
Washington is demanding that Iran reduce nuclear enrichment. The war began with US and Israeli strikes on Iran in late February. Iranian restrictions on shipping and the US blockade have severely disrupted traffic through Hormuz, a crucial route for Gulf oil and gas exports. Brent crude rose above $117 (€105) a barrel last week, its highest level since April, following Iranian attacks on tankers near the strait. Crude flows through Hormuz were around 60% of normal, according to ANZ research.
