Although most of the medicines are being produced within the country, some countries, including Turkey and China as well as the Red Cross have helped Iran in this regard and some regional countries have voiced readiness to do the same, Mousavi said.

He also referred to the latest developments in Idlib reiterating that a diplomatic approach will be the only way out of the crisis in Syria.

Mousavi underlined the significance of Syrian peace process in Astana saying that all the concerned countries are expected to return to this process.

Astana talks provide a compromise solution about the crisis in Syria and Idlib which will satisfy all the warring sides, Mousavi said.

Referring to the military presence of France in the Strait of Hormuz, Mousavi said that any presence of foreign forces in the region is an “unconstructive” move which will lead to instability and chaos in this part of the world.
