Continuing his consultations and diplomatic meetings in New York, Amirabdollahian met Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process (UNSCO) Tor Wennesland on Friday (New York time) to discuss the developments in the region.
The Iranian foreign minister pointed to the Islamic Republic’s right to defend itself within the framework of legitimate defense and international law, noting that Iran managed to conduct a major retaliatory attack on the Israeli regime but only targeted the military sites that were involved in striking the Iranian consulate in Syria.
The main factor to help restore regional stability and security is the cessation of Israeli crimes in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank as well as a sustainable ceasefire in that region, he added.
Wennesland, for his part, warned against the spill-over of tensions in the region, saying that the situation is out of control and the Palestinian people are living in regrettable circumstances.
The international community must focus on an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, he said.
