Iran’s course will not change despite latest tragedy: Leader

In a meeting with the Emir of Qatar, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei highlighted Iran’s determination to carry on the path initiated by the late President Ebrahim Raisi. “Despite this loss, the country’s course will not change, and the same spirit of affection and confidence between Iran and Qatar that prevailed during the reign of the late president will continue under Dr. Mokhber,” the Leader explained. He pointed out the regional conditions and the efforts of enemies to disrupt stability and peace.

“Regional countries have no other option but to support and show solidarity with each other,” he stated. Ayatollah Khamenei also expressed gratitude for Qatar’s solidarity and sympathy over the demise of President Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian. Tamim bin Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, on his end, expressed that the longstanding ties between Iran and Qatar have always been strong and will continue to remain robust.

He considered cooperation and unity among regional countries as the only way to counter existing threats in the region. “We do not set any limits on expanding relations with Iran,” the Qatari Emir noted.
