Doha on Wednesday called on Tehran to halt any hostile acts, as it welcomed a deal between the United States and Iran for a two-week truce.

"Qatar expresses its welcoming of the announcement of the ceasefire... considering it an initial step toward de-escalation," the country’s foreign ministry said in a statement.

"The ministry affirms the importance of full adherence to the ceasefire... emphasizing the necessity for the Islamic Republic of Iran to take the initiative to immediately cease all hostile acts and practices that undermine regional stability," it added.
