Iran live updates: Diplomatic efforts to end war ongoing, Qatari official says

Majed al-Ansari, the spokesperson for Qatar's Foreign Ministry, said during a press conference in Doha on Tuesday that "efforts are still ongoing with all the parties" to end the war between the U.S. and Iran.

"We are looking towards a diplomatic resolution as we are speaking right now. As you know, there are current efforts on the ground that are in very progressive stages, and we are working with all the parties," Ansari said.

Ansari said that there is no agreement, but added that "things may change in the coming hours or days, we don't know."

The Qatari spokesperson said that a return to a ceasefire and ensuring the safety of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz were necessary to facilitate further negotiations. Qatar, Pakistan and Oman are all "working together on that issue," Ansari said.

"Our focus right now is on avoiding escalation, reopening the Strait and reopening the door for diplomacy between the parties," Ansari said. "What we do not want to see right now is a major escalation in our region as the events were leading toward that direction."

"Right now, we don't have anything on the books when it comes to direct talks," Ansari added.

"We are hopeful that if we can get a resumption of the talks anytime soon, we'd be able to push forward towards a major deal that would help us walk back into a situation of peace in our region," he said.

Saree claimed that the "precise" drone strike was successful. The Saudi Defense Ministry has not yet commented on the Houthi claim.

President Donald Trump said during an Oval Office signing event that this is Iran’s “last chance” to make a deal.

When asked about the number of times he’s called off strikes after threatening them, the president responded, “I don't know. I think we're going to maybe get something, but I want to give every last chance before decapitation.”

Trump said the first phase of a deal would open the Strait of Hormuz immediately. He said the second phase of the deal being negotiated now is Iran’s denuclearization, though he noted that phase would come later and “take a little while.”

Trump also suggested that Iran was swayed by the threat of Sunday night’s planned attacks, which Trump said would have been “harder” than “any” attack since World War II.

“But in this case, leakers helped because they said the severity of the attack, and Iran knew it. They knew what was coming. It was going to come last night, and it would have gone on for a long time, and there'd be essentially very little left. There'd be nothing left, and if I'm given a chance to let a lot of people live, I want to give that chance. So I'm under no time constraint,” Trump said.

Trump also insisted there will be no tolls charged in the Strait of Hormuz, but he added, “if anybody’s going to charge, we’ll charge.”
