Araghchi discusses US strikes with Saudi, Turkish FMs

Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi held separate late-night telephone calls with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan and Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan on Wednesday, reviewing the latest regional developments following US military strikes against areas in southern Iran.

The calls covered the rapidly evolving security situation after what Araghchi described as American aggression against Iranian territory. In both conversations, Araghchi condemned the US military strikes as a violation of Iranian national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

He underscored Iran's inherent right to self-defence and affirmed the legitimacy of the retaliatory response carried out by Iran's Armed Forces. The discussions also touched on bilateral relations and the need for regional stability.

According to Mehr News Agency, the phone calls took place in the early hours of Wednesday and were part of ongoing diplomatic efforts to address the heightened tensions in the region.
