Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has travelled to Doha to attend the funeral of the late Qatari emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani, days after Iran attacked Qatar, Reuters reports citing Iran’s ISNA news agency.

Iran has attacked what it says are US targets in Qatar — a mediator between Washington and Tehran in the Iran war - most recently on Sunday.

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said on Sunday it was targeting Qatar’s Al Udeid Airbase, the biggest US base in the Middle East, with ballistic missiles.
