CAIRO, May 9 (Xinhua) -- Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and Qatari Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Jassim Al-Thani on Saturday urged the United States and Iran to adopt positions characterized by "responsibility" and "wisdom" during this delicate stage.

During a phone call, the two top diplomats called for full reliance diplomacy to settle disputes, stressing the importance of supporting the negotiation process between the two sides, according to a statement by the Egyptian Foreign Ministry.

The two officials also reviewed developments of the negotiating track between Washington and Tehran, emphasizing that the sustainability of regional security and stability is primarily based on prioritizing political solutions in a way that preserves the resources of the peoples of the region.

On Feb. 28, Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Iran. A ceasefire was reached between the warring sides on April 8, followed by a round of lengthy peace talks in Pakistan, which failed to yield an agreement.

Despite diplomatic efforts from various sides, clashes again erupted recently in and around the Strait of Hormuz, involving U.S. attacks on Iranian vessels and coastal areas, as well as Iranian missile and drone strikes targeting U.S. destroyers. ■
