The two sides exchanged views on rising regional tensions and the latest security developments.

TEHRAN: Iran has expressed strong concern over recent US military actions, with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi holding a telephone conversation with Field Marshal Asim Munir to discuss the evolving regional security situation.

According to Iran’s semi-official Tasnim News Agency, Araghchi condemned the US strikes, describing them as violations of international law, the United Nations Charter, and the spirit of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding.

During the conversation, the two sides exchanged views on rising regional tensions and the latest security developments.

Araghchi said Iran would not yield to what he described as US aggression and remained committed to defending its sovereignty, territorial integrity and national security.

He warned that any failure by US authorities to honor existing agreements and commitments would reflect the continuation of Washington’s confrontational policies.

The Iranian foreign minister added that if the United States carries out further military action, Iran will exercise its right to self-defense and take all necessary measures to safeguard its national interests.
