LONDON: Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian thanked Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani, emir of Qatar, for his country’s efforts in mediating a pivotal interim agreement with the US that brought an end to more than 100 days of conflict in the Middle East.
Pezeshkian said that he appreciated Qatar’s role in promoting de-escalation in the region and global stability, according to Qatar News Agency.
Sheikh Tamim reaffirmed Qatar’s strong support for diplomacy in resolving disputes. He expressed hope that the Iran-US interim agreement would enhance long-term regional and international peace.
The memorandum of understanding was signed on Wednesday by Pezeshkian and US President Donald Trump. Its official title is “Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America.”
Pakistan has also played a primary mediating role in bringing the warring parties to agree on 60 days of negotiations over Tehran’s nuclear program, the opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the lifting of the US blockade on Iranian ports.
The 14-point document was sent to Congress on Thursday.
