Iran underlines necessity of stopping Israeli regime’s crimes, aggression
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has underlined the necessity of cessation of the Israeli regime’s crimes and aggression throughout the West Asia region.
The top diplomat made the remarks to Britain’s Foreign Secretary David Lammy on Wednesday, responding to a phone call by the latter.
He reiterated Iran’s support for extension of the ceasefire deal that was brought about in the Gaza Strip earlier this month with the hope of ending the regime’s 15-month-long war of genocide against the coastal territory that has so far claimed the lives of at least 47,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
He also urged prolongation of a similar deal that addresses Tel Aviv’s escalated deadly aggression towards Lebanon that killed at least 3,961 people, including senior resistance officials, before a similar ceasefire deal came about last November.
The remarks came amid the Israeli regime’s continuous deadly violations of both the agreements.
Araghchi, meanwhile, warned against any escalation of tensions in Yemen, where the regime, the United States, and the UK have been carrying out heavy deadly attacks with the aim of stopping Sana’a’s pro-Palestinian operations.
He said such aggression posed a threat to regional stability and security.
The foreign minister noted that the Islamic Republic of Iran had always been a supporter of peace and stability in the region, and would spare no effort to ensure realization of regional peace and stability.
Araghchi also elaborated on Iran's position regarding peaceful nuclear activities, emphasizing that the Islamic Republic had always been ready to engage in dialog based on its principles and national interests.
He clarified that this approach was not new and formed the basis of previous talks involving the country too.
Iran and the UK, France, and Germany have resumed talks addressing the country’s nuclear energy program in the hope of restoring a 2015 nuclear deal between the Islamic Republic and world countries, including the European trio.
After the United States unilateral and illegal withdrawal from the agreement in 2018, the trio vowed to try to return Washington to the accord besides living up to their own commitments under the deal.
They, however, stopped short of doing either, while ramping up even more illegal sanctions against Tehran.
The two sides further discussed some consular issues as well as the latest status of bilateral relations, emphasizing the importance of continued diplomatic consultations.
