Badr Abdelatty says further escalation would be more destructive than the first round, as Qatari mediators try to break a deadlock over Iran's port blockade.

  • A June interim agreement failed to deliver a lasting ceasefire or restore normal shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Qatari mediators returned to Tehran on Oct 30 to try to broker a deal, but the US and Iran remain split on whether nuclear talks or blockade/sanctions relief should come first.
  • Iran has proposed reopening the Strait within seven days if Washington lifts its port blockade.
