Iran FM calls for ‘immediate stop’ to Israeli war machine to prevent further escalation in West Asia
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says the Israeli war machine has to be “immediately” stopped as means of preventing further escalation and deterioration of security situation across the West Asia region.
The top diplomat made the remarks in an Instagram post on Monday, detailing the contents of his earlier meetings with senior Iraqi officials in the Arab country’s capital Baghdad.
He said the meetings featured him explaining “the responsible approach of the Islamic Republic of Iran towards security and stability of the region.”
The discussions also “examined the special and dangerous conditions of the region caused by the military adventure and war crimes of the Zionist regime in its invasion of Lebanon and the genocide against the residents of Gaza,” Araghchi added.
The comments concerned the regime’s October 7, 2023-present escalation against Lebanon and genocidal war on the Gaza Strip that have respectively claimed the lives of more than 2,300 Lebanese people and upwards of 42,300 Palestinians, mostly women and children, so far.
Araghchi said a diplomatic endeavor was “actively” underway with the aim of confronting the dangerous threats that are posed by the regime to the region.
The drive seeks to “mobilize the capacity of all countries in the region and international organizations to confront the dangerous threats of the Zionist regime against peace, stability, and security in the entire region,” he noted.
The foreign minister has been making a flurry of regional trips over the past weeks with the aim of keeping up Tehran's diplomatic efforts aimed at bringing about cessation of the regime’s ongoing regional atrocities.
The trips have, as well as Iraq, taken Araghchi to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Syria.
The official is currently in the Omani capital Muscat, where he has so far met with his Omani counterpart Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi.
