❗️Araghchi urges Europe to abandon its destructive approach towards Iran

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called on European governments to abandon their "destructive and irresponsible" approach towards Iran and regional developments during a meeting with UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.

According to a statement from Araghchi's office, the two ministers discussed bilateral relations as well as regional and international developments.

Araghchi attributed insecurity in the region and the Strait of Hormuz to "military aggression" by the US and Israel, with the support and complicity of some European governments, which he said had inflicted significant damage on Iran, the region and the world.

Araghchi said lasting regional security depends on ending the Israeli occupation and realizing the Palestinian people's legitimate rights, particularly their right to self-determination.
