Qatari foreign minister holds talks in Tehran with FM Araghchi, Iran’s top security official
The Foreign Ministry has confirmed taking place of a one-day visit by Qatar’s foreign minister to Tehran, during which the latter held talks with his Iranian counterpart and the country’s top security official.
Speaking on Monday, spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei noted that during the visit, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani met with Abbas Araghchi and Ali Larijani, secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.
According to the spokesman, the meetings were conducted within the framework of ongoing good offices and consultations among regional countries on current regional developments, with discussions focusing on the preservation of peace and stability in the region.
Following the visit, the Qatari government issued an official statement, confirming the talks.
According to the statement, ongoing efforts aimed at reducing tensions in the region were reviewed during the meeting.
Throughout the meetings, the Qatari official emphasized Doha’s support for all initiatives intended to lower tensions and achieve peaceful solutions that contribute to strengthening security and stability across the region, it read.
He also stressed the importance of pooling efforts to protect the peoples of the region from the consequences of escalating tensions, while continuing coordination with brotherly and friendly countries to address differences through diplomatic channels.
The remarks came amid significant American military buildup across the West Asia region, including the Persian Gulf, which has run in tandem with repeated threats issued by US President Donald Trump of fresh military action targeting the Islamic Republic.
Iranian officials have met the developments and simultaneous rhetoric with stern warnings against renewed foreign aggression against the country.
Tehran has concomitantly underlined its intention to resolve existing tensions and differences through dialogue and diplomacy.
