TEHRAN, July 1 (Xinhua) -- Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Kazem Gharibabadi on Wednesday announced the conclusion of talks in Qatar on the implementation of a peace memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Iran and the United States.
Leading a delegation from the Foreign Ministry, Central Bank, and Agriculture Ministry, Gharibabadi said that the Iranian team held talks with Qatar's Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani in the morning and then attended two meetings with Qatari and Pakistani delegations, according to the official news agency IRNA.
"The first meeting of the supervision group for the MoU's implementation was also held with the participation of senior negotiators from the three countries," he said.
During the discussions, the Iranian delegation pointed out and discussed U.S. violations of its obligations under the MoU's Paragraph 1, which pertains to the war's end in Lebanon, news of U.S. actions regarding the reinforcement of its military equipment and forces in the West Asia region, and "threatening and interventionist" remarks by U.S. officials, according to IRNA.
The Iranian delegation highlighted that the parties' obligations under the MoU are an integrated set and are not seen in isolation, adding that it was decided that a monitoring group's emergency communication channel would be established by Thursday and violations of the MoU would be reported, discussed, and decided upon in an official and documented manner, according to Gharibabadi.
He noted that during the meetings with Qatari officials, including central bank representatives, certain issues related to the use of part of Iran's frozen assets worth 6 billion U.S. dollars were discussed, and it was decided that, based on Iran's needs, the necessary goods would be purchased and given to the country.
Gharibabadi stressed that no direct meeting was held between the Iranian and U.S. delegations in Doha.
According to IRNA, concurrent with the Iranian team's meetings in Doha, a U.S. delegation, headed by U.S. President Donald Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and his son-in-law Jared Kushner, was also in Qatar and held meetings with Qatari officials.
On June 18, Iran and the United States signed the MoU on ending the war in the region on all fronts, including Lebanon.
On June 22, technical negotiations between Iran and the United States began in Switzerland following high-level consultations between Iranian and U.S. delegations the previous day with the mediation of Pakistan and Qatar.
