The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan issued a statement welcoming the two-week ceasefire agreement between Iran and the United States, which was announced on the morning of April 8.
In its statement, the foreign policy department expressed hope that the negotiations between the conflicting parties, planned for the coming days, would lead to the establishment of lasting and comprehensive peace in the Middle East.
“We believe that there is no military solution to this conflict, and its continuation will only further exacerbate the already complex situation in the Middle East and cause serious harm to all the countries in the region,” the statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan said.
Tajikistan called on the conflicting parties to refrain from the use of military force and to employ political and diplomatic means based on the fundamental norms of international law and the UN Charter.
It is worth noting that after 39 days of war in the Middle East, which began with an attack by the US and Israel on Iran, Washington and Tehran reached an agreement on a two-week ceasefire on the morning of April 8.
The agreement on the truce was announced just hours before the expiration of Trump’s ultimatum, which threatened to “destroy Iranian civilization.” The ultimatum was set to expire at 01:00 GMT on April 8.
Tehran presented Washington with 10 demands and promised to open the Strait of Hormuz.
