![Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani in Doha. Addressing the 17th Al Jazeera Forum on February 7, 2026 — a three-day conference analysing Middle East geopolitical shifts — Araghchi criticised what he described as a "doctrine of domination" enabling Israel to enhance its military capacity while advocating for regional disarmament of other nations. His comments coincided with Iran's latest nuclear discussions with the United States, following the breakdown of earlier talks when Israel initiated an unprecedented bombing campaign against Iran last June, leading to a 12-day conflict.
