The Qatari delegation held talks with officials of Iran during its visit aimed at reviewing recent developments surrounding diplomatic efforts.
The visit comes after one of the advisers to Qatar’s foreign minister traveled to Tehran last Wednesday for discussions and consultations regarding a draft memorandum of understanding intended to bring an end to the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran.
In comments on Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said that Tehran and Washington could announce an initial understanding in the coming days, while emphasizing that the process had not yet been finalized. He described diplomacy as a means of consolidating Iran’s strategic gains following the latest round of American-Israeli aggression and said discussions were focused on a 14-point memorandum of understanding that remains under review.
According to Araqchi, the proposed framework consists of two stages, beginning with an initial memorandum of understanding and followed by negotiations toward a possible final agreement. He said issues including sanctions removal, the nuclear file and enrichment-related matters, economic reconstruction, and other sensitive topics would be addressed during a second phase expected to continue for around 60 days.
The Iranian foreign minister also underscored the importance of enforceable guarantees, citing previous experiences of non-compliance by adversaries and stressing that mechanisms must be established to prevent future breaches. He added that Iran’s diplomatic and defense institutions operate in coordination to protect national interests and maintained that any eventual arrangement must be based on mutual respect for sovereignty and the end of pressure-based approaches.
