Iran Press/ Iran news: At the beginning of the meeting the Foreign Ministry spokesman said, "As long as the Zionist occupation and crime exist, International Quds Day will be commemorated."
Regarding the consultations and diplomatic measures taken during this period, Mousavi said, "There were incidents in Iraq and Afghanistan that gained political stability after a long time."
"As a neighbor, Iraq is very important to Iran, and it is now wrangling with the US and terrorist conspiracies, and the current government is backed by Iran," Mousavi noted.Referring to the recent agreement between rival leaders Ashraf Ghani and Abdullah Abdullah in Afghanistan, the spokesman expressed hope that the development would be a prelude to inter-Afghan talks.
In response to a question, he said that less than 3,000 Iranians abroad are in prison for various crimes, most of which are drug-related and illegal crossings. Our embassies are closely in contact with the governments of the countries where Iranian citizens are imprisoned. We hope that one day there will be no Iranian prisoners abroad.
The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said about the presence of Iranian asylum seekers in Greece that unfortunately, some people leave Iran for different countries due to the illusion of a better life, but after a while, they realize that these countries are utopia and they regret it. These people have bad conditions in the camps and are from different countries and ethnicities, and anything can happen to them.
He added: "We have been following the recent case in Greece and we have been following up with the Greek authorities and the police of that country who have not officially confirmed such a thing. However, the Iranian embassy is in contact and we will inform you if we find out anything new. "

He added that what the Americans said about our oil tankers was illegal and that they would face Iran's reaction if they do anything. We gave the necessary advice to the Americans through the Swiss ambassador, and Zarif's letter to UN Chief reminded the consequences of any action; We hope they do not do anything stupid in this regard.
Regarding the incident on the Iranian-Afghan border, Mousavi said, "We welcome millions of Afghan refugees, but we want these visits to be legal. Some people take advantage of the gaps, and it is the duty of every country to protect its borders.
He clarified that no official report has been confirmed by our security, military, and border guards, and it is not clear how they died.
The spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs added that a delegation from Afghanistan entered Iran a few days ago and held talks with our border guards.
Mousavi reiterated that the incident took place neither on Iranian soil nor by Iranian forces, adding that a delegation from Iran may visit Afghanistan in the coming days, focusing on what is happening around Hariroud.
The official said of Iran's efforts to bring peace and stability to Afghanistan that Iran wants to have a stable and prosperous neighbor based on its neighborly policy. It was important for us that this country be stable and that there were several rounds of efforts, contacts, and travels, and that the Iranian representative traveled to Kabul, and thank God, the result was good, and Iran's role in this field is important and makes us proud.
He added that Iran, unlike others who want to fish in muddy waters, makes Afghanistan a safe and stable its first priority, and sees it as a prelude to inter-Afghan talks to build lasting peace in Afghanistan.
