Any new tension in region will work against warmongers: Iran interim FM
Iran's Interim Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani says any new tension in the region will definitely be detrimental to the warmongers.
In a phone conversation with Hungarian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó on Friday, Bagheri Kani said it is necessary to promote stability in the region and avoid the spread of tensions.
He added that the region is facing a new situation amid the continuation of the Israeli regime's crimes against the people of Palestine and the recent war threats against Lebanon.
The new situation proved that the survival of the occupiers hinges on promoting instability, the top Iranian diplomat emphasized.
Tensions remain high along Lebanon’s southern border, where Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah is engaged in intense clashes with Israeli forces.
Hezbollah has been carrying out almost daily rocket attacks on Israeli positions in retaliation for the regime’s aggression against Lebanon and in solidarity with Gaza.
Israel launched the war on Gaza on October 7, 2023 after Palestinian resistance groups carried out a surprise retaliatory operation into the occupied territories.
So far, the regime’s genocidal war has killed at least 38,011 people, mostly women and Children, in Gaza and injured 87,445 others.
Elsewhere in his talks, Bagheri Kani extended his congratulations to Szijjártó on the beginning of Hungary's rotating presidency of the European Union.
The acting foreign minister said Iran and Hungary have always maintained good ties and made efforts in recent years to further expand positive relations.
The Hungarian foreign minister, for his part, said diplomacy played an important role in improving bilateral relations on the international scene.
He expressed hope that Tehran and Budapest will further boost relations during Hungary's presidency of the EU.
Szijjártó also stressed the need to step up efforts to prevent an escalation of tensions in the region.
