TEHRAN, Sep. 08 (MNA) – The US President Donald Trump and Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani spoke over the phone about the Persian Gulf crisis.

Qatari Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani told Al Jazeera television the two leaders discussed the meeting between Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Jaber Al Sabah and Trump.

Mohammed bin Abdulrahman al-Thani said that the US president called all sides for dialogue to solve the ongoing inter-Arab diplomatic crisis.

He added that the solution could be achieved by mutual obligation rather than giving orders from one side to the other.

The inter-Arab diplomatic crisis began on June 5, when Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Bahrain collectively severed diplomatic and transport ties with Qatar, accusing it of supporting terrorism in the region.

Doha denies the allegations, describing attempts to diplomatically isolate it as a violation of international law and its national sovereignty.
