Today, we received messages from the corresponding parties through Qatar's foreign minister." Amirabdollahian added that during his talks with the Qatari foreign minister, he "referred to the non-constructive role and interventionist measures of America and the three European countries in the recent riots in Iran," as he put it.

When asked about the possibility of holding talks between Iran and the United States in Doha, the Qatari foreign minister replied, "Iranian-Qatari relations are significant for regional stability, and Qatar is always looking for the relations of the countries of the region with Iran." Al-Thani stressed, "the nuclear negotiations are an important factor for stability in the region," adding, "we are trying to eliminate misunderstandings to return to the agreement."(end) aw.maa.ara
