LONDON, October 25. /TASS/. Qatari mediators visited Tehran on October 25, Reuters reported, citing sources.

According to the news agency, the visit was part of efforts toward deescalating the conflict in the Middle East and was carried out in coordination with the United States. No further details were provided.

The United States and Israel launched a war against Iran on February 28. In June, Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding envisaging an immediate ceasefire on all fronts, including in Lebanon. However, the United States resumed large-scale attacks on Iran overnight to July 8, having accused it of breaching the existing agreements in what concerned the Strait of Hormuz, a global chokepoint for approximately 25% of oil and some 20% of LNG supplies.

Later, the US administration actually signaled that it was ceasing the use of military force against Iran and was embarking on a path of its economic suffocation through tougher sanctions.
