In a telephone conversation on Sunday, Araqchi and his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov discussed the latest regional developments and international issues related to the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran.

The Iranian foreign minister condemned the crimes committed by the US and the Zionist regime against the Iranian people over the past 37 days, including attacks on Iran's industrial and production infrastructures, hospitals, schools, residential areas, as well as Iran's nuclear facilities and centers.

Araqchi emphasized the urgent need for action by relevant international bodies, especially the United Nations Security Council and the International Atomic Energy Agency, to condemn the US-Israeli crimes and hold the aggressors accountable.

The Iranian foreign minister also referred to US threats regarding attacks on Iran's energy facilities, considering these statements a clear admission of committing war crimes.

Araqchi called for a responsible approach based on international law from all influential parties in the United Nations Security Council and urged the prevention of the US's instrumental use of this council.

For his part, the Russian foreign minister recalled his country's principled position in condemning the military aggression of the US and Israel against Iran, emphasizing the necessity of stopping illegal attacks on civilian targets, especially the Bushehr nuclear power plant.

Lavrov also called for the use of every opportunity to prevent the escalation of conflicts.

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.
