"The sides continued to exchange views on issues of mutual interest on the regional and international agenda. The importance of resolving the crisis over the Iranian nuclear program exclusively through political and diplomatic means in accordance with the norms of international law was once again emphasized. The ministers agreed on upcoming contacts at various levels," the ministry said in a statement.
On the night of June 13, Israel launched an operation against Iran, accusing Tehran of developing a clandestine military nuclear program. Iran denied the allegations and responded with its own attacks. Over the following 12 days, the two sides exchanged strikes. The United States joined the conflict by targeting Iranian nuclear facilities on June 22. In retaliation, Tehran launched an attack on the United States' Al Udeid airbase in Qatar. On June 23, US President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire, bringing an end to the hostilities.
