JAKARTA - Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has left for Doha to attend a ceremony honoring the former Emir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.

Al Thani died on Sunday, July 12 at the age of 74.

Iran has repeatedly targeted Qatar in recent weeks, using missiles and drones to attack Al Udeid Air Base in retaliation for US attacks, including on the day of the former emir's death.

Qatar is the main mediator in US-Iranian negotiations that resulted in a memorandum of understanding in June - an agreement that is now beginning to falter. It is unclear whether Araghchi's visit to Doha will include discussions on restoring the ceasefire.

Before the conflict between the US and Iran re-escalated recently, a delegation from both countries had visited Doha for indirect negotiations.
