Qatar PM says using Hormuz as 'pressure card' deepens crisis

Qatar's Prime Minister told Iran's top diplomat, Abbas Araghchi, in a phone call that using the Strait of Hormuz as a "pressure card" would only deepen the Middle East crisis, the Qatari Foreign Ministry said on Sunday.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani "stressed that freedom of navigation is a firmly established principle that is not open to compromise, and that closing the Strait of Hormuz or using it as a pressure card only serves to deepen the crisis,” the ministry said in a statement.
