Sharif thanked both the United States and Iran for what he described as their constructive engagement during the negotiations. He also expressed appreciation to regional partners for supporting the diplomatic process.

The prime minister said he hoped the agreement would help lay the groundwork for lasting peace, stability and cooperation across the region.
