Araqchi and his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty held a telephone conversation on Saturday night to discuss developments related to the US and Israeli military aggression against Iran and their regional and international repercussions.
During the call, Araqchi outlined the unprecedented war crimes committed by the United States and the Zionist regime, including strikes on Iran’s industrial and production infrastructure, peaceful nuclear energy facilities, and civilian targets such as residential areas.
He stressed that all countries, particularly those in the region, bear responsibility to support peace and stability and to refrain from any form of assistance or complicity with the attackers.
The Iranian foreign minister warned that such actions could have severe humanitarian and environmental consequences, underscoring the need for a firm international response to clear violations of international law.
For his part, Abdelatty emphasized the importance of continuing diplomatic efforts and utilizing available channels to help bring the conflict to an end.
The US and the Israeli regime launched a large-scale unprovoked military campaign against Iran following the assassination of then 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.
