Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi has condemned the Israeli regime as the root cause of conflicts in the region which is already suffering the simmering conditions in the besieged Gaza Strip.


The top diplomat made the remarks during a telephone conversation with his Jordanian counterpart Ayman Safadi on Friday.
 
The remarks concerned the regime’s October-present genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, escalated deadly attacks in the occupied West Bank, intensified deadly aggression against Lebanon, and assassination of senior resistance figures throughout the region.
 
As a case in point, Araghchi cited the regime’s constituting the biggest obstacle to conclusion of truce agreement that could bring an end to the war on Gaza that has so far claimed the lives of upwards of 40,600 Palestinians, mostly women and children.
 
Araghchi said, “The Islamic Republic would support a [truce] agreement that meets the approval of the Palestinian people and resistance.”
 
He underlined the need for effective action on the part of the international community towards cessation of the genocide and transfer of humanitarian aid to the coastal sliver.
 
For his part, the Jordanian official said, “It is necessary for the tensions in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank to come to an end as soon as possible.”
 
The officials, meanwhile, underlined continuation of consultations between Tehran and Amman, considering such negotiations to be line with the interests of both the countries and the entire region.
