Qatar and Iran have distinguished historic relations that developed and grew stronger and more firmly over the years, in an indication of the keenness of the two leaderships and their peoples to advance these relations and always push them towards broader horizons that serve the common interests, goals and aspirations of both sides.

Iran was one of the first countries to recognize the independence of the State of Qatar. A month after independence, the declaration to recognize the State of Qatar and the establishment of relations between the two countries was published. The first Iranian Ambassador presented his credentials in 1972 to HH the Amir of the State of Qatar, while the first Qatar Ambassador arrived in Iran in 1973.
