During the call, Abbas Araqchi and his Qatari counterpart Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani exchanged views on regional developments, particularly the recent events in the Strait of Hormuz, as well as a number of issues of mutual interest.

They emphasized the importance of making use of diplomatic channels to address regional issues and stressed the need to maintain consultations and coordination in order to prevent further escalation of tensions across the region.

The conversation came amid US violations of the Islamabad memorandum of understanding and its acts of aggression against Iran in recent days that have drawn Iran’s retaliatory strikes on US assets and bases in the region.
