Afghanistan’s Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi has welcomed the agreement between the United States and Iran, describing it as a positive development that could contribute to stability across the region.
EDnews reports, citing local broadcaster Ariana News, that Muttaqi made the remarks during the Afghanistan–Central Asia Think Tank Forum in Kabul.
He expressed hope that all parties would fully implement the deal, calling it a constructive step toward reducing regional tensions.
“War and conflict harm all regional countries, while peace and stability benefit both regional states and the international community,” he said.
His comments come amid ongoing efforts to formalize an agreement between Washington and Tehran following months of confrontation.
Regional tensions escalated earlier this year after a series of strikes and counterstrikes involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, which led to significant casualties and disruptions, including restrictions affecting maritime movement in the Strait of Hormuz.
The two sides later agreed to a temporary truce on April 8 through mediation efforts, followed by a broader framework agreement aimed at ending hostilities.
The accord is expected to be formally signed in Switzerland on July 19.
