Ebrahim Raisi made the comments in a phone conversation with Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani who had called to felicitate him on Eid al-Adha.
Raisi also appreciated the efforts of the Emir and Prime Minister of Qatar in advancing joint plans and agreements with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Al-Thani congratulated the Iranian President and the Iranian people on Eid al-Adha and expressed willingness to boost economic cooperation.
Last week, European Union foreign policy official Enrique Mora and Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator Ali Bagheri-Kani held meetings in Qatar in what many believed to be related to issues pertaining to disputes with the United States.
Since September, the US has demanded an end to Iran’s weapons supplies to Russia that has included hundreds of Kamikaze drones used against Ukrainian military and civilian targets.
In February, US Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley met with the Qatari foreign minister in Washington over efforts to kickstart the stalled talks to revive the 2015 nuclear deal, Qatari sources said.
Late in January, Al Thani visited Tehran where he delivered messages from world powers that are party to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, particularly the US which does not have direct contact with the Islamic Republic.
