In a message posted on his X account in Armenian language, Araqchi highlighted the strong and enduring relationship between Iran and Armenia, noting that Yerevan’s support in facilitating the relocation of Iranians and providing humanitarian aid reflects longstanding ties between the two nations.
“The support of the government and people of Armenia for the people of Iran—in matters of relocating Iranians and providing humanitarian aid—is highly appreciated,” Araqchi said.
“The centuries-old ties between Iran and Armenia once again demonstrated their strength in a difficult moment, and these brotherly actions will remain in the memory of the Iranian people,” he added.
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.
