Iran Press/Iran News: In a joint meeting with ambassadors and heads of foreign diplomatic missions in Tehran on Tuesday, Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi stated that the issue of de-escalation is a public demand both regionally and globally due to the potential for all-out war, emphasizing that the only solution is to prevent the aggressive policies and brutal attacks of the Zionist regime, which has committed many war crimes in the region.
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has denounced as “a flagrant violation of internal law” Israel’s latest aggression against Iran, saying the Islamic Republic will neither hesitate nor rush in responding to the occupying regime.
Araghchi continued: "We condemn the aggression of the Zionist regime and reserve the right to respond; after all, an incursion has taken place on the territory of our country, and it is natural for us to respond in due time."
He criticized European countries for not condemning the Zionist regime's aggression toward Iran. He pointed out that Western nations often discuss international law only when it serves their interests, frequently ignoring other issues and applying double standards.
Araghchi stated, "Our position is firmly based on international law and the UN Charter. The aggression that has been committed can be held accountable. Our response will be defensive, but how we execute this defense is up to us."
The top Iranian diplomat highlighted that the US has significantly contributed to the aggression of the Zionist regime against Iran. He noted that the US has provided the necessary air corridor for these actions, making the US and certain European countries key partners in these attacks.
Araghci further underscored the need to stop Israeli aggression and crimes in Gaza and Lebanon, calling on the international community to take immediate and decisive measures to stop the killing of innocent Lebanese and Palestinians. 219
