Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian met on Sunday his Qatari counterpart Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani in Tehran.
The top Iranian diplomat held a joint press conference at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran with Al Thani, commenting on the drone attack on a military workshop in the central city of Isfahan that was repelled by the Iranian air defense forces on Saturday night.
Amirabdollahian said such cowardly measures could not impede the Iranian experts’ activities and progress.
Turning to the Qatari official’s visit, he reiterated that Iran always welcomes regional talks.
“We believe that dialogue and cooperation is a successful approach to achieving collective stability and security in the region.”
He said Iran has used Qatar’s views about regional negotiations, adding that those views can definitely help clear up a series of misunderstandings.
“Qatar has been always passing on messages about the return of the JCPOA parties to their commitments. Today, we received JCPOA-related messages from the Qatari side,” Amirabdollahian stated, referring to the 2015 nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.
“Iran has used various methods to neutralize the sanctions and will continue to do so. We will continue to work with our friends in the region to counter such unproductive measures, which are in fact a systematic violation of human rights,” the top Iranian diplomat added.
The Iranian foreign minister also noted that his Qatari counterpart has proposed ideas about the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Iran and Ukraine have held the first round of political talks in Oman, Amirabdollahian stated, adding that Tehran welcomes Doha’s efforts at the second round of talks.
The Qatari foreign minister, for his part, confirmed that he conveyed messages to his Iranian counterpart from different JCPOA parties about various issues.
Qatar believes that it is an appropriate time to settle the issues pertaining to the revival of the JCPOA and make the ground for the sides to reach a final agreement, Al Thani said.
He further said that he also carried messages from the US to Iran, adding that his country would continue efforts to clear up misunderstandings between the parties and their return to their commitments.
Qatar seeks to promote regional stability and revival of the JCPOA, which plays an important role in this regard, the Qatari minister said.
