Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has landed in Damascus to delve into the latest developments surrounding the ongoing Israeli aggression in Lebanon, while also aiming to strengthen bilateral ties between Iran and Syria. This visit comes on the heels of substantial discussions held in Beirut, where Araghchi highlighted the urgent need for collaborative efforts to address escalating tensions across the region.
During his visit, Araghchi emphasized the primary goal: to secure a ceasefire in both Gaza and Lebanon. He revealed that several proposals are under consideration to facilitate this much-needed resolution. “The Zionist occupation government does not understand any language other than war and force,” Araghchi declared, advocating for international intervention to put an end to the violence that has engulfed these regions. He reassured that Iran is dedicated to the relentless pursuit of a ceasefire, displaying unwavering support for the embattled populations.
In his upcoming meetings with Syrian counterpart Bassam Sabbagh, Araghchi is expected to underscore the need for unity among Islamic and Arab nations to combat what he described as Israel’s criminal actions. He maintains that these nations must work in concert and mobilize international organizations to coordinate actions against the current onslaught.
Further solidifying Iran’s commitment, a humanitarian initiative was announced, with the Iranian Foreign Ministry pledging 10 tons of food and medical supplies to Lebanon.
“The whole region should recognize the critical situation Lebanon faces and its dire implications for the future of our nations,” he said.
