In a telephone conversation on Sunday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi and EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas discussed the latest regional developments following the ongoing illegal attacks by the United States and the Israeli regime against Iran and their political, security, and humanitarian consequences.
In this call, the two officials addressed the escalating tensions in the region and exchanged views on the impacts and consequences of these developments on regional stability and international security.
The US and the Israeli regime launched a large-scale unprovoked military campaign against Iran following the assassination of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians on February 28.
The attacks have involved extensive aerial strikes on both military and civilian locations across Iran, causing significant casualties and widespread damage to infrastructure.
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces have carried out retaliatory operations, targeting American and Israeli positions in the occupied territories and at regional bases with waves of missiles and drones.
