Baghaei: Regional states organizing public mobilization against Israel

EghtesadOnline: Speaking during this week's press conference in Tehran on Monday, the Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei Hamana said that "One of the occupations of the Islamic Republic of Iran is to stop the genocide and crimes in Gaza and Lebanon as a moral, Islamic and legal duty according to international law."

"Today, the Minister of Foreign Affairs will visit two important countries in the region, namely Kuwait and Bahrain," said Baghaei. 

“We know that the countries of the region, in interaction with their partners, are trying to organize public mobilization against the killing” of innocent people by the occupying regime, he said.

The spokesman further said the indirect talks between Iran and the United States with the mediation of Muscat.

He went on to talk about the recent meeting between the Turkish and Iranian foreign ministers, saying that "Regarding Syria, we have always communicated with Turkish colleagues within the framework of the Astana process. We are trying to establish peace and stability in Syria with the help of Turkey and other partners."

Baghaei said that Iran will continue to pursue the path of cooperation despite hostile statements by the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council and the European Union about the three Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf. 

He continued to talk about the alleged leaked documents about the bank of targets of Israeli regime airstrikes, warning that "We do not want to comment about whether this alleged leaked document was fake or correct. However, we would like to say that We are fully prepared to respond to any aggression."

Iran welcomes any initiative to prevent the spread of the war that the regime has initiated. The first step should be to stop the crimes in Gaza and Lebanon, the spokesman later said. / Mehr
