In remarks on Tuesday, Araqchi said Iran demonstrated during the recent war of aggression imposed by the US and the Zionist regime that it is a tough and invincible power.

He noted that he had repeatedly heard officials from other countries say that Iranians had surprised the world, as no one had expected Iran to be able to stand up to the US, the Israeli regime and other countries and ultimately force the enemy to seek negotiations.

According to Araqchi, Iran had repeatedly been told that it had prevailed not only in the war and diplomacy, but also in terms of ethics and dignity.

He described the national solidarity among Iranians as one of the distinctive features of the recent war, saying that millions of dollars in cash and in-kind assistance had been voluntarily provided by Iranians abroad as well as Shiites and supporters of the Islamic Revolution.

The Foreign Ministry, he added, had collected and transferred the financial and material aid to Iran.

Araqchi said the next step was to launch a new campaign abroad to channel assistance toward the reconstruction of a hospital in Andimeshk, which had been more than 80% destroyed during the US-Israeli war.

The foreign minister said the Foreign Ministry had focused a significant part of its efforts on supporting the healthcare sector and was carrying out its mission in close coordination with the Ministry of Health and Medical Education.

He also identified scientific and medical cooperation, technology transfers, and the provision of medicines and medical equipment as among the areas of cooperation.
