In a telephone conversation with Qatari leadership, the Iranian Ministry of Defense affirmed its support for efforts to establish peace and stability in the region, while simultaneously stressing its readiness to respond decisively to any violations of ceasefire agreements. The
Iranian side expressed appreciation for Qatar's mediation role, citing a lack of trust in the American side and its allies due to historical contexts and ongoing security tensions. The meeting also addressed the importance of securing global trade routes in
the Gulf region, emphasizing that dialogue among regional countries and mutual military cooperation are the most effective means to enhance collective security away from foreign interference.
