Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, who is Brazil to attend the 17th summit of BRICS, held a telephone conversation with his French counterpart Jean-Noel Barrot on Sunday.
The two senior diplomats talked about the latest regional developments in the wake of the Israeli regime and the US’ unprovoked act of aggression against Iran.
They also discussed the status of consular relations between Iran and France.
While the Zionist regime waged a war of aggression against Iran on June 13 and struck Iran’s military, nuclear and residential areas for 12 days, the US stepped in and conducted military attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran’s Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan on June 22.
The Iranian military forces started counterattacks immediately afterwards. The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force carried out 22 waves of retaliatory missile strikes against the Zionist regime as part of Operation True Promise III that inflicted heavy losses on cities across the occupied territories.
A ceasefire that came into force on June 24 brought the fighting to a halt.
