Kremlin said on Oct. 27 President Putin met Qatar’s Emir Tamim in Moscow at the Gas Exporting Countries Forum. Putin said the US‑Iran memorandum brokered by Qatar and Pakistan remain a valid basis for negotiations; Russia has advocated halting military action and pursuing a political‑diplomatic solution since the conflict began and is prepared to take all feasible measures to help resolve it. Emir Tamim said US‑Iran tensions are producing negative regional effects, citing a Strait of Hormuz crisis and strain on energy markets, and said Qatar values and seeks Russian mediation on the Strait and other regional crises, including the Palestinian issue and the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
