Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a conference on the anniversary of the Al-Aqsa Storm operation, held in Tehran on Tuesday, Araqchi said he presses on with consultations with foreigners on the regional developments.
Pointing to his diplomatic efforts to end the Gaza war during the recent visit to New York for the UN General Assembly and the subsequent trips to Doha, Beirut and Damascus, Araqchi said he is going to proceed with the visits this evening.
The top Iranian diplomat unveiled plans to visit Saudi Arabia and other regional countries. “We are trying to take measures to stop the (Israeli) crimes.”
Reaffirming Iran’s policy of supporting the resistance forces and its efforts to condemn and end the Zionist regime’s atrocities, Araqchi reiterated that Iran does not seek war, nor does it fear it.
Asked about the Israeli regime’s rhetoric of military action against Iran, the foreign minister said Tehran is prepared for every scenario and has identified “all necessary targets” in the occupied territories.
“Our policy is to cease clashes and to achieve a ceasefire acceptable to and agreed on by the resistance,” the top diplomat stated.
In Gaza, at least 41,909 Palestinian people have been killed and 97,303 wounded in Israeli attacks since October 2023.
