Qatar has seen positive signs in talks between Oman and Iran over reopening the Strait of Hormuz, according to its foreign ministry, despite concerns that demands for compensation could delay an agreement. According to Al Ansari, Oman and Iran have indicated that the talks have reached the technical stage, with Tehran saying it was preparing an official announcement. Compensation not part of current talks, Qatar saysUS President Donald Trump said on Monday that Iran should compensate people killed or injured in attacks he blamed on Tehran. The waterway handled around one-fifth of global oil supplies before the war, while Qatar depends on it to export liquefied natural gas. Al Ansari said Qatar would support any regionally agreed arrangement that protected navigation and complied with international law.
