أكدتُ في حواري مع شبكة الجزيرة أننا لا نكنّ أي عداء لدول مجلس التعاون، ونثمّن الدور الإيجابي الذي تؤديه قطر وعُمان، ونواصل الحوار مع السعودية. هدفنا الوصول إلى ترتيبات أمنية إقليمية جديدة تقوم بها دول المنطقة نفسها، بعيدًا عن أي وجود عسكري أجنبي.

Honored to meet President Berdimuhamedov in Ashgabat and hold productive talks with my friend and counterpart, FM Meredov.

Our shared history and deep cultural ties provide a strong foundation for expanding cooperation.

Our neighbors are our priority.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

When Israel-US bombings of Iran began last year, Mr. Merz hailed them.

"Doing Europe's dirty work"

100bn Euro is nothing compared to the Earth-shattering blow Iran's Powerful Armed Forces will deal against those who dare harm our people.

Red lines are a thing of the past.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Germany's Chancellor Merz on Iran War:

We now have costs exceeding €100 billion for Europe alone over the last eight months, solely because of the increase in energy prices caused by this conflict.

More than €100 billion extra has been paid by businesses and consumers in Europe because energy has become more expensive as a result of this conflict.

We have an economic interest in bringing this conflict to an end as quickly as possible.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

While our Brave Armed Forces are fully prepared to defend the Homeland, Iran continues to give diplomacy a chance to succeed.

We remain in close and ongoing contact with intermediaries to review ideas that can ensure implementation of our 7-Day Plan in even less than a week.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

Iran’s energy diplomacy advanced at GECF Summit. Discussions focused on global gas markets and energy security.

Devastating impact on int'l markets of any Israel-instigated military misadventure in Persian Gulf region remains major concern for both gas suppliers and consumers.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

The U.S. has over the past three years spent $11 BILLION in taxpayer money on missile defense for Israel.

It has fired more interceptors defending Israel than Israel has.

That is not a symbiotic relationship. It is a parasitic one.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

Just before POTUS exited the Iran Nuclear Deal in 2018, Mr. Macron insisted before the U.S. Congress that "France won't leave the JCPOA, because we signed it."

Today, he claims he always opposed "any form of nuclear activity" in Iran.

Get your story straight, Mr. President.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

Iran is prepared to give diplomacy another chance if we see strong evidence of a sincere desire by US to build trust & reach a just solution.

But if US chooses war over diplomacy, it'll certainly result in an even greater strategic failure.

My FT op-ed: https://t.co/T4sUq4WGwt

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

Hosted FM Lavrov for timely talks in Tehran.

We covered everything from Europe to West Asia, including Lebanon, Palestine, Ukraine and Yemen. Also focused on expansion of economic and nuclear cooperation.

Never in our history have Iran and Russia worked as closely as now.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

Mr. Macron made his bed when he assured POTUS that he welcomes atrocities against Iranians.

Too late to blame the war his ilk helped cause. The French people demand wholesale change, including freedom of assembly.

Listen to the future of France, Mr. President.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

Important OIC Council of FMs in Iraq, 1st in 45 years. Met PM Zaidi, Iraqi, Egyptian and Turkish counterparts, new OIC SG & other dignitaries.

Under Iraq’s leadership and experienced SG, we expect active OIC role in addressing Islamic world’s challenges and resolving differences

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

Last time you wanted to "finish the job", Iran emerged even stronger. Want to try your luck again? Be our guest. But be careful; we have unfinished jobs too.

Netanyahu is driving America into another war to stay out of jail, whatever the consequences for Israel—let alone POTUS.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

Netanyahu is a wanted war criminal with Arab, American & Iranian blood on his hands. To escape justice, he has no regard for his own people either.

Like a degenerate gambler, he's desperately seeking to save himself with more U.S. blood and treasure. Even U.S. Senators want out.

[UnXeptable @UnxeptableD]

💥 The general who woke Netanyahu on the morning of Oct. 7 just broke his silence.

He says:
⚠️ Netanyahu was warned of war 3 months earlier
⚠️ Logs from Oct 7 have been tampered
⚠️ Hostages “could have come back earlier”

🎥 @N12News @LimorYoav @DanyCushmaro

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

In May, the Congressional Research Service admitted that Iran’s Armed Forces had taken out 42 U.S. military aircraft. Now: 81.

Real toll is far higher.

Proof? CENTCOM won’t let a sitting Senator inspect bases it claims are fine.

You can fool all the people some of the time...

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

All Iranian diplomats who attended UNGA, except one who departed earlier, left as scheduled.

Taking pride in fake diplomat "expulsion" is inappropriate for the head of any diplomatic corps. It oozes of desperation and defeat, and is inconsistent with UN host nation obligations.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

PM Burnham says the UK Government "can confirm our belief that we believe Iran to have played a part" in the RAF Fairford incident.

I can confirm Iran's belief that releasing supposed terrorists working for foreign states really says it all.

You're barking up the wrong tree.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

Told @MeetThePress:

President Pezeshkian and I did not come to New York to sell a war. We came to forge peace.
Iran nonetheless remains steadfast in the face of any aggression—even if it comes to an apocalyptic war. At the same time, we are ready for real diplomacy.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

In meetings with @kajakallas and other EU counterparts, I warned of the severe long-term consequences of facilitating and supporting Israeli-U.S. war crimes, whether in Gaza or Iran.

That major folly aside, @SecGenNATO should know by now that groveling never satisfies a bully.

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

The Israel lobby is getting less shy about its grip on U.S. policy toward Iran. In Miriam Adelson’s publication, the Lobby's loudspeaker says U.S. policy must ensure America pays a price for any slight against Israel.

High time for Washington to break free from these shackles.
