Iranian Foreign Minister: End of Conflicts Only Possible with 'Definitive and Sustainable' Conditions

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that the end of current conflicts is only possible with "definitive and sustainable" conditions leading to a permanent end of what he described as the illegal war.

In a post on X, Araghchi emphasized Tehran's focus on creating such conditions. He appreciated Pakistan's mediation efforts, saying Iran has never refrained from traveling to Islamabad. Araghchi accused American media of misrepresenting and distorting Tehran's position. He countered reports in Western media claiming that Pakistan's mediation between Iran and the United States had failed and that Iranian officials did not go to Islamabad.

Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, Speaker of Iran's Parliament, affirmed in an interview on Al Jazeera Arabic that Tehran is prepared for confrontation and has demonstrated its ability to defend itself. Ghalibaf referred to the conflict as the "Israel war" and warned that escalation against Iran would meet a decisive response against U.S. interests in the region.

Ghalibaf also stressed the need for sustainable regional security achieved by regional countries without foreign intervention.
