00:00Qatar says it's holding talks between the U.S. and Iran
00:03as it tries to find common ground between the two sides.
00:05The foreign ministry says ideas and messages are being exchanged,
00:09but significant differences remain.
00:22But regional security remains another key concern.
00:26Qatar says Gulf countries must not be targeted
00:28while restoring freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz
00:32remains a priority.
00:33Although we have been targeted in this way,
00:35although we have been victims to the missiles coming in from Iran,
00:41we did not give up on the way for peace
00:43and we are still engaging with Iran.
00:46So the diplomatic channels remain open,
00:48but the U.S. and Iran are still some way apart.
00:50So getting from talks to an actual deal will be the real challenge.
00:55Adil Halim, U.N. News, Doha.
00:58Thank you.
00:59We'll be right back.
