Doha talks go on as Trump repeats strike threats

Iranian negotiators met Qatari mediators in Doha for a third day, and Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said talks on reopening the Strait of Hormuz have reached no final result. Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei ordered the armed forces to respond to any threat without geographic limits, his office said. Four tankers exploded in the Strait of Hormuz, the Revolutionary Guard said, and oil spills reached the UAE coast. Iran's Foreign Ministry designated Britain's Royal Navy and Air Force as “terrorist” organizations.
