Qatar is stepping up as a mediator between Iran and the US in New York, even though President Donald Trump just shot down Iran's latest proposal.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi is expected to meet Qatari mediators on Tuesday to discuss a week-long plan: Iran says it'll reopen the Strait of Hormuz if the US lifts sanctions and ends blockades.
