WANA (Apr 06) – Seyed Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s foreign minister, held a phone conversation with Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, Qatar’s prime minister and foreign minister, to discuss the latest regional developments, the consequences of U.S. and Israeli military attacks against Iran, as well as bilateral relations between Tehran and Doha.

 

During the call, Qatar’s foreign minister reiterated Doha’s principled position against the use of force and stressed the importance of respecting Iran’s national sovereignty and territorial integrity. He also emphasized the urgent need for an immediate end to the war and the restoration of stability and security across the region.

 

According to the report, Araghchi reaffirmed Iran’s commitment to preserving and strengthening friendly relations with regional countries, including Qatar. He described the current situation as the direct result of military aggression by the United States and Israel against Iran.

 

He also pointed to what he described as Washington’s misuse of its military bases and assets in certain regional countries to carry out attacks against Iran, stressing that under international law, all states are obligated to prevent their territory from being used by others to launch military aggression against third countries.

 

The Iranian foreign minister further outlined what he called “crimes committed by the United States and the Zionist regime against the Iranian people,” underscoring Tehran’s firm determination to defend its national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

 

He said attacks targeting schools, universities, hospitals, industrial and production infrastructure, as well as nuclear facilities, constituted “grave war crimes” and should be prosecuted and punished in both domestic courts and international legal bodies.

 

The phone call comes at a time when regional security tensions have entered a highly sensitive phase in recent days, with diplomatic contacts among regional states intensifying in an effort to contain further escalation.
