Iran Reaffirms Diplomacy While Warning of Strong Response to Any Threats
(MENAFN) Iran has stated that it remains firmly committed to diplomatic efforts while also maintaining full readiness to respond to any “malicious act,” Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi told his Chinese counterpart on Wednesday.
According to Iran’s Foreign Ministry, Araghchi briefed Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi during a meeting in Beijing on recent diplomatic initiatives aimed at ending the conflict involving the US and Israel against Iran. He also referenced ongoing negotiations between Tehran and Washington that are being mediated by Pakistan.
“Iran, just as it acted decisively in defending itself and remains fully prepared to confront any aggression, is also serious and steadfast in the field of diplomacy,” Araghchi said.
He also praised China’s position on what he described as violations of international law by the United States and Israel during the 40-day conflict, according to reports.
Araghchi expressed hope that China, during its rotating presidency of the UN Security Council, would continue to play “a constructive role in preventing further violations of international peace and security.”
