TABNAK, Oct, 16: Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi arrived in Amman on Wednesday as another part of his regional tour and in line with diplomatic efforts of Iran to stop Zionist regime’s crimes and genocide.
Araqchi in a meeting with his Jordanian counterpart Ayman Safadi called for a ‘collective move’ by regional countries to stop Zionist regime’s ‘war machine’ and prevent spread of war in the region.
The Iranian diplomat said such a move is necessary to protect regional peace and stability and is in line with interests of regional nations.
Ayman Safadi, for his part, raised serious concerns about escalating security conditions in the region, stressing his country’s position is based on ending killing of defenseless people in Palestine and Lebanon and ending aggression against Lebanon.
The two sides also called for more assistance from the international community to help displaced Gazans and Lebanese people.
In a post on his X account earlier in the day, Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei wrote that Iran's diplomacy will go on for promotion of peace and stability in the region, adding that in the continuation of consultations with the countries of the region, the Iranian foreign minister will also travel to Egypt and Turkey in order to help "put an end to genocide, crimes and war."
Israel launched its brutal war on Gaza on October 7 last year after the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas carried out Operation Al-Aqsa Flood against the usurping entity in retaliation for its intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
The Tel Aviv regime has so far killed at least 42,344 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 99,013 others, according to the Gaza health ministry.
The regime has also escalated its deadly attacks against Lebanon after launching a genocidal war on Gaza.
Over the past weeks, the attacks have been mostly focused on Beirut, where the regime assassinated Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, secretary general of Lebanon’s Hezbollah resistance movement, during intense airstrikes against the capital in late September.
