Farewell to Field Marshal Asim Munir, Commander of the Pakistani Army, by our country's Foreign Minister, Syed Abbas Araghchi @s_a_araghchi

Peshkian: Iran is only seeking to realize the legal rights of its people/ Asim Munir: I hope the negotiations will reach the desired result for Iran and the region sooner. The President in a meeting with the Commander of the Pakistani Army: The Islamic Republic of Iran has shown its adherence to international legal frameworks in practice. We are only seeking to realize the legitimate and legal rights of our people, but the history and experience of negotiating with the Americans dictates that we exercise utmost caution. America will not win this conflict, and it is the countries of the region and the world that will suffer serious losses, and the Zionist regime is the only party that seeks to secure its interests in the region through war. The Commander of the Army of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, expressing his happiness at the opportunity to meet again with the President of our country and conveying the warm greetings and good wishes of the Prime Minister and the President of his country to Dr. Peshkian, stated: Fortunately, the negotiations are progressing well. Israel seeks its interests in the conflict and disagreement between Muslims in the region and has serious enmity with anyone, including me, who is trying to resolve the conflicts, and has no desire to establish stability and security in the region. Asem Munir, emphasizing that he is only seeking to establish stability and prevent the continuation and recurrence of war and conflict in the region, expressed hope that the ongoing negotiations will reach the desired result for Iran and all countries and Muslims in the region as soon as possible. @iribnews [in reply to: Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi's presence in the meeting of Field Marshal Asim Munir, Commander of the Pakistani Army, with Dr. Pezhikian, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran @iribnews]

Our country's Foreign Minister, while appreciating the efforts of Türkiye and some regional countries to stop the aggressions of the United States and the Zionist regime against Iran, updated his Turkish counterpart on the latest developments.

Pointing out that Iran did not initiate this imposed war and is defending its sovereignty, national security, and territorial integrity against the aggressors, he emphasized: "It is expected that all countries in the region and the international community will responsibly condemn the aggressions and crimes committed by the United States and Israel and hold the aggressors accountable for their gross violation of international law and attack on Iran." Hakan Fidan, referring to the continuation of his consultations with some countries in the region, emphasized his country's commitment to trying to help stop the war. @MFAIran [in reply to: Telephone conversation between the Foreign Ministers of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Türkiye @MFAIran]

Telephone conversation between the Foreign Ministers of the Islamic Republic of Iran and China Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and Wang Yi, Foreign Minister of the People's Republic of China, discussed and exchanged views in a telephone call on regional developments and the consequences of the US and Zionist military aggression against Iran.

Our country's Foreign Minister, describing the aggressions and crimes committed by the United States and the Zionist regime against Iran as the main factor in the current situation in the region, emphasized Iran's firm determination to continue defending its national sovereignty and territorial integrity until all goals are achieved and the enemy regrets committing this brutal aggression. The Foreign Minister of our country considered the situation in the Strait of Hormuz inseparable from the general conditions prevailing in the region and added: The insecurity imposed on the Persian Gulf and the #Strait_of_Hormuz is the result of the military aggression of the United States and the Zionist regime against Iran, and the measures and arrangements adopted by Iran are in accordance with international law and in line with defending Iran's sovereignty and national security, and in order to prevent aggressors from misusing this waterway to commit acts of aggression against Iran. Referring to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz to American and Zionist vessels and other parties involved in the aggressors' military aggression against Iran, Araghchi noted: "The passage of vessels belonging to other countries is carried out in coordination with the competent Iranian authorities." The Foreign Minister of our country strongly condemned the moves of the United States and some other countries in the Security Council to exert pressure on Iran and stated: "Instead of fulfilling its duty to preserve international peace and security, the Security Council has ignored the main cause of the current situation, namely the aggression of the United States and the Israeli regime, and instead of condemning and holding the aggressors accountable, it is blaming Iran, which is defending itself." Araqchi added: Iran's serious expectation from the member states of the Security Council, especially China and Russia, is to prevent the United States from continuing to abuse the Security Council by adopting a firm stance in condemning the aggression of the United States and the Zionist regime. The Chinese Foreign Minister once again emphasized his country's principled position in condemning the illegal US and Israeli attacks on the Islamic Republic of Iran and the violation of Iran's national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Araghchi: “The whole world saw” U.S. claims about Iranian officials hiding were false • • Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi defended the stability of the country’s political system and newly appointed supreme leader, reaffirmed ongoing cooperation with Russia and China, and said Tehran views the war as an “imposed” conflict it will continue to fight in self-defense. • • “Yesterday they said that all Iranian authorities are in bunkers. But at the same time the whole world saw our president, the speaker of parliament, the secretary of our National Security Council… in the street among the people who demonstrated.” • • “They will see soon that there is no problem with the new supreme leader. He sent his message yesterday and he is performing his duties according to the constitution.” • • Araghchi added the Islamic Republic is “not dependent on any individual or any group of people” and said the system remained stable even after the assassination of the previous supreme leader, noting that “nothing happened and everything remained in order.” • • He also said Russia and China remain Iran’s “strategic partners” with ongoing cooperation “politically, economically, and even militarily.” • • “This is not our war… it was an unprovoked, unwarranted, illegal act of aggression against us. We are only defending ourselves.”
