Iran’s United Nations envoy Amir-Saeid Iravani thanked Qatar for its role in the Iran-Israel ceasefire at a UN Security Council meeting Tuesday, APA reports citing CNN.
“I wish to sincerely thank our brotherly and friendly nation the state of Qatar for its sincere and diplomatic efforts to help end Israeli aggression, establish a ceasefire and prevent a further escalation of regional tensions that threaten peace and stability in the region,” the Iranian diplomat told the council.
Iravani’s expression of gratitude to Qatar comes a day after Iran launched an attack on a US airbase in the Gulf country.
Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani secured Iran’s agreement on Monday, a diplomat briefed on the talks told CNN, finally allowing US President Donald Trump to announce the ceasefire on social media.
