Tehran – SABA:
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi emphasized on Tuesday that Europe’s wrongful positions are making the diplomatic path more difficult, pointing to the consequences of some parties’ bias in favor of the violations and crimes committed by the Zionist entity.
During a phone call with the European Union’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs, Kaja Kallas, regarding the latest regional developments following the Zionist-American aggression against Iran, Araghchi stated: "Any statements—whether implicit or explicit—that justify the grave violations of international law and the crimes committed by the Zionist entity constitute participation and complicity in these crimes."
He added: "Once the Zionist entity’s aggression stopped, we halted our defensive measures, demonstrating our goodwill. This action clearly shows that Iran—unlike the warmongering Zionist entity—did not initiate the conflict and does not wish for its continuation."
The Iranian Foreign Minister also affirmed Tehran’s lack of trust in the United States, stating: "Military attacks were launched against our country by the Zionist entity and America while Iran was engaged in negotiations and diplomacy. It was America that betrayed negotiations and diplomacy."
Araghchi criticized the positions of certain European countries and the Director-General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) during the issuance of the IAEA Board of Governors’ resolution. He condemned their continued support for the Zionist-American aggression against Iran and their failure to denounce the reckless attacks on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities.
He warned that "the continuation of this destructive approach by some European countries could further complicate the existing situation and make the diplomatic path even more difficult."
