Qatar’s Foreign Minister Khaled al-Attiyah struck a conciliatory tone with neighboring Iran and said western states had given assurances that any deal on Tehran’s nuclear program would be solid.
“For the sake of Iran and its people, we would like to see this agreement happening and maybe they can focus on development and prosperity for the region, which we would all like to see,” he said in an interview with Reuters on Wednesday. “The parties discussing this agreement are discussing it with the intention that we have a solid agreement. We have no doubt about our allies. We have this assurance by the Americans and the French as well.”
