Iran calls for more efforts to establish peace in Gaza, Lebanon

Iran’s foreign minister has called for the expansion of diplomatic efforts to establish peace in Gaza and Lebanon.

Abbas Araghchi had a phone conversation with his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty on Monday.

Araghchi also emphasized the urgency for a ceasefire in the occupied lands.

He called for an immediate dispatch of humanitarian aid to the refugees in Gaza and Lebanon.

Araghchi said the Israeli leaders aim to expand the war throughout West Asia.

The Zionists, he said, want to disrupt peace and stability in the region.

Iran is after a ceasefire but it reserves its legitimate right to defend itself against any Israeli aggression, he said.

The Iranian minister underlined the need for effective action on a global scale, particularly by the Muslim world, to stop Israel’s genocide machine.

Iran and Egypt have underlined the need for the immediate cessation of appalling Israeli atrocities in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.

Abdelatty, for his part, placed a premium on the need for de-escalation efforts in the region.

The Iranian minister has recently shuttled between countries in West Asia, including Syria, Lebanon, Qatar and Jordan.

In Amman, Araghchi held talks with Jordan’s King Abdullah II in October with respect to the existing circumstances.

The Israeli regime unleashed its campaign of genocide in Gaza in October 2023. The regime later expanded its offensive into Lebanon.

The Palestinian death toll since then has topped 43,370 while the Lebanese death toll is estimated to be around 2,000.
