US speaking to Iran’s allies in effort to limit response
The phone call between Biden and Qatar’s emir has been a part of a larger project.
Biden has been taking a series of calls along with Blinken for days in a wave of diplomacy in an effort to try and limit the response by Iran. Just a day ago, we’ve had Biden speaking to Jordan’s king and over the weekend, Blinken speaking with G7 leaders as well as of the UK, France and Iraq.
