Iran, Qatar hold Hormuz talks amid US blockade

Iran's foreign minister met with Qatar's top diplomat in Tehran on Thursday for discussions focused on the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

The talks come amid a US naval blockade that is severely restricting Iran's oil imports.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil shipments.

The meeting signals Qatar's role as a mediator in the escalating tensions between Iran and the United States.
