New Delhi: India on Tuesday welcomed reports of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel and the role played by the US and Qatar in bringing it about and stated that it is ready to play its part in diplomacy to address and resolve the multiple conflicts in the region.

"We have been following the developments overnight relating to the conflict between Iran and Israel, including the US action against Iran's nuclear facilities and Iranian retaliation against US military bases in Qatar. While we remain deeply concerned about the prospects for overall and sustained regional security and stability, we welcome reports of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel and the role played by the US and Qatar in bringing it about," the MEA announced.

"We wish to reiterate that there is no alternative to dialogue and diplomacy to address and resolve the multiple conflicts in the region. India stands ready to play its part in these efforts and hopes that all concerned parties will work towards sustained peace and stability," the MEA noted.


Earlier, the Indian embassy in Doha announced that the security situation in Qatar was stable after Iran made limited strikes against US military bases near Doha.
