Gulf nations vow to protect their territory from Israel’s attacks on Iran, says Abbas Araghchi
The Iranian foreign minister stated that Kuwait is the eleventh stop on his tour and emphasized that the relationship with Kuwait is distinguished, highlighting a shared commitment to de-escalation with Gulf countries.
• At a press conference in Kuwait, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, stated that all Gulf countries reject occupying entity’s aggression against Iran, assuring that their territory and airspace will not be used for any attacks on Iran.
• Araghchi emphasized that the possibility of expanding the war is very likely, which could lead to a comprehensive conflict throughout the entire region, but the countries in the region have the capacity to act to prevent it.
• Iran’s foreign minister warned of the ongoing occupation’s aggression against Gaza and Lebanon, which has “caused the displacement of 2.5 million people, all of whom are living in tragic situations. The situation is catastrophic in both countries.”
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that his visit to Kuwait was aimed at coordinating and consulting on regional developments, as well as collaborating to establish security and peace, according to Al Qabas newspaper.
He said in a press conference held this morning with Kuwaiti media, “Kuwait is the eleventh stop on my tour of the region, and there is a common understanding to avoid escalation and war. In this context, we have done our best to de-escalate.”
He added, “Our relationship with Kuwait is distinguished, and we pursue a policy of good neighborliness with the Gulf countries.”
He stated that the Iranian missile attack against the military and security facilities of the occupying entity is solely a defensive response to the crimes it has committed. He warned that if the entity repeats its aggression, Iran will respond similarly to any attacks and is prepared for any confrontation.
He continued, “Two weeks ago, we held sessions with some countries, and yesterday I visited the Kingdom of Bahrain and held serious talks. These visits are part of consultations on current developments, and we will make every effort to strengthen relations with the countries of the region, especially Kuwait, which has very distinguished relations.”
Possibility of an all-out war
In addition, Araghchi stressed that the possibility of an all-out war in the region is imminent after recent developments and events.
“We are seeking a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, and we are in constant contact with all concerned countries,” he said.
“Iran does not want war or escalation in the region, but we are ready for all scenarios.”
Iran’s foreign minister warned of the ongoing occupation’s aggression against Gaza and Lebanon, which has “caused the displacement of 2.5 million people, all of whom are living in tragic situations. The situation is catastrophic in both countries.”
He stated that the occupying entity began to replicate what was happening in Gaza in Lebanon, and the continuation of this aggression aims to convert other areas into a second, third, and fourth Gaza.
He emphasized that the possibility of expanding the war is very likely, which could lead to a comprehensive conflict throughout the entire region, but the countries in the region have the capacity to act to prevent it.
Iran’s foreign minister declares regional unity against Israel’s aggression
The Iranian foreign minister noted that all countries in the region reject the occupying entity’s aggression against Iran.
He said, “All our friends have reassured us that their territory and airspace will not be used in any attack on Iran. We expect this from the countries of the region, and we consider such a position to be an expression of friendship towards Iran.”
“We are closely monitoring all movements at U.S. bases in the region by sea and air.”
He stressed that the waving of the occupation in launching an attack on nuclear facilities contradicts all international laws, and regardless of the entity’s attack, we will respond in kind.
He stated that the entity has committed some of the most heinous crimes, some of which amount to war crimes, with the support of America and other countries.
He reiterated that “any military attack on nuclear facilities is considered a major crime, and the threat itself is a major crime that must be addressed through international forums. Everyone knows very well that Tel Aviv is not bound by the law, and we cannot rely on international systems to put an end to Tel Aviv.”
“But we are ready to tackle such crimes ourselves; we are capable of protecting our nuclear facilities, and if Iran’s infrastructure is attacked, the enemy knows exactly what the response will be,” he said.
