WASHINGTON DC, 14th April. Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Italian counterpart Antonio Tajani on Saturday held a phone conversation on bilateral relations and regional developments, according to the foreign ministry affairs.
According to a statement released by the Iranian Foreign Ministry Amir-Abdollahian stated that Iran has always played a positive part in regional development and has borne considerable costs to ensure sustainable stability and security in the region.
Iran expected Italy to take the opportunity of the G7 rotating presidency to end Israel’s “genocide and war crimes” in Gaza and the West Bank, he added as quoted by media.
Tajani asked Tehran to exercise restraint in reaction to the deadly Israeli attack on the consular section of Iran’s embassy in the Syrian capital of Damascus.
He said, “We, in tandem with the European Union, condemned the invasion,” emphasized that it was crystal clear that diplomatic missions should not be attacked.
Two diplomats stressed the importance of ensuring shipping and maritime security in the Red Sea, with Tajani called for the continuation of Iran’s positive role in resolving tensions and promoting sustainable peace in the region.
They recognized growing bilateral ties and agreed to further enhance consultations on bilateral, regional and international levels, said the statement.
The senior commander of Iran IRGC Quds Force and his deputy, with five others, were killed in the targeted Israeli strike on the consulate building, sparked growing concerns over a major retaliatory attack from Iran.
