DOHA (The Thursday Times) — Iran ki Revolutionary Guards Navy ke hawale se Iranian media ne kaha ke Mangal ko Strait of Hormuz mein teen oil tankers mines se takra gaye aur un mein aag lag gayi, jabke Qatar ne kaha ke US aur Iran muzakrat par kaarband hain aur apne ikhtilafat door karne ke liye tajaweez ka jaiza le rahe hain.
Guards ne kaha ke in jahazon ne navigation aur identification systems band kar ke ghair mujaz shipping lanes mein dakhla kiya tha, aur strait ke janoobi sahil ke qareeb jalte reh gaye. Unhon ne jahazon ko khabardar kiya ke woh Iranian qawaid ko nazar andaz na karein aur ghair mujaz raston ke istemal ke liye US fauj ke saath taawun na karein. Yeh bayan ab tak sirf Guards ki taraf se aaya hai.
"Donon fareeq muzakrat ke amal par kaarband hain; jaisa ke hum ne zikr kiya, hum un ke darmiyan tajaweez ke fori tabadle mein suhulat faraham kar rahe hain," Qatar ki wazarat-e-kharja ke tarjuman Majed al-Ansari ne Doha mein sahafiyon se kaha. "Hamein ab bhi ummeed hai ke aainda muzakrat ke liye mahaul banane wali deal ki gunjaish maujood hai."
Unhon ne kaha ke Tehran janay wali Qatari team Doha wapas aa gayi hai, muzakrat jari hain, aur tanao mein izafe se bachne ke liye "shadeed mushtarka ilaqai koshishein" jari hain.
Iran ke aik senior official ne zyada sakht lehja apnate hue kaha ke donon fareeq deal se abhi bohat door hain. "Agar US chahta hai ke Hormuz dobara khola jaye to Tehran ki shartein poori karni hongi," official ne naam zahir na karte hue kaha, aur mazeed kaha ke nuclear muzakrat in shartein poori hone ke baad hi shuru ho sakti hain aur Iran US hamlon ka sakht jawab dega.
Yeh peshraft US forces ke Iran ke Qeshm Island par hamle ke chand ghante baad samne aayi hai, jise US officials ne un missiles par difai hamle qarar diya jo American assets ke khilaf istemal hue. Guards ne yeh bhi kaha ke unhon ne strait ke qareeb aik US MQ-9 drone aur do Lucas drones maar giraye.
