Amir Abdollahian: The Agency must disarm the occupying Israeli regime

– International news – Hossein Amir Abdollahian, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of our country, said in an interview with “Al-Mayadeen” network about the nuclear threats of the Zionist regime: The international community should focus on two issues in particular. The first issue is the nuclear disarmament of the warmongering Zionist regime. Especially that this regime intends to use nuclear weapons. The International Atomic Energy Agency should seriously enter this case and disarm the occupying Israeli regime. The second issue that helps to establish security and stability in the West Asian region is that the international court to investigate the war crimes of this regime and to try the people who committed crimes during this war and targeted civilians, so that a lesson can be learned. be for other criminals.

The full text of this interview is as follows:

Question: What have been your goals since your trip to Beirut and the outcome of the negotiations so far?

Amir Abdullahian: Naturally, the region now has special conditions. We are facing complex conditions in the region. After about 6 weeks of the Al-Aqsa storm operation, which we consider to be an action in accordance with international law and carried out by Hamas against the occupiers and in response to their crimes, after that we witnessed the barbaric crimes of the Zionist regime against the Palestinian people in Gaza. and the West Bank and even civilians in southern Lebanon during the past 6 weeks.

Today we are in Lebanon to discuss the latest developments with senior officials. Let’s consult with Lebanon. Discussions with the Lebanese authorities and my counterpart Mr. Bouhabib and some other Lebanese friends regarding the developments in the region have always been useful for us. We are always consulting with our friends in the region and Lebanon. In the first week of this crisis, I clearly announced at the United Nations that this region is our region and our home, and we do not compete with anyone in the security of our home.

Iran’s role in establishing a temporary ceasefire in Gaza

Question: We start the questions from the ceasefire that will be implemented in the next few hours. Was the Islamic Republic one of the parties to the negotiations leading to the ceasefire?

Amir Abdullahian: Of course, Hamas and the resistance are the decision makers. However, since the early hours of discussing the possibility of establishing a humanitarian ceasefire, we have continuously discussed this matter with our friends in Qatar and said that we support and respect any decision that Hamas makes, but the 47 days of war against Gaza is a sign of He said that Israel cannot release its captives through war. Regarding the situation of Palestinian and Israeli prisoners, some kind of agreement should be reached through dialogue and diplomacy. As we have seen today, America and Israel are not able to destroy Hamas in Gaza. Hamas is a liberating and legitimate movement and will remain in Palestine. The winners of this war are the Palestinian people and the resistance. Until today, the main losers of this war have been America and the Zionist regime.

Question: Dear Minister, what is Tehran’s assessment of this ceasefire and its effect on changing the balance of the war? Does the Islamic Republic have any considerations or warnings regarding this ceasefire addressed to its friends and allies in the Palestinian resistance movements? Do you have concerns or risks or considerations regarding this ceasefire?

Decision maker The main ones are the Palestinian people

Amir Abdullahian: of course We respect the decision taken by Hamas as the decision-maker. We believe that the war of the Israeli and American regime against Palestine will not end this issue, but will lead to the expansion of the scope of the war. In the initial days and weeks of Israel’s war crimes and genocide against Gaza, we warned that if the war continues, the opening of new fronts and the expansion of the scope of the war are inevitable. Today, we are witnessing that new fronts in southern Lebanon, Yemen, Syria and Iraq have come to the aid of Gaza. I stated last week in Geneva that we, as the Islamic Republic of Iran, do not have any proxy group in the region, but they themselves decide to take actions according to the interests of their country and the interests of the Arab-Islamic nation. The Muslim Arab nations of Iraq, Yemen and Syria showed that they cannot just witness the killing of civilians in Gaza and be indifferent to this issue. Therefore, we believe that what is referred to as a humanitarian truce today is because the American and Israeli sides are not able to destroy Hamas through war. During the last 47 days, they destroyed some houses, schools and hospitals. This widened the scope of the war. Therefore, a ceasefire that leads to the cessation of the war crimes of the Zionist regime will also prevent the expansion of the scope of the war. But I believe that if the temporary ceasefire does not continue, the continuation of war and aggression against civilians in Gaza will create new conditions. The conditions in the region will not remain the same as before the humanitarian ceasefire, and the scope of the war will expand more than before. Therefore, we clearly told all the actors and the United States that you are asking Iran, Hezbollah and other parties to exercise restraint, and you are sending messages that the United States does not want to expand the war, if you want this, you should actually seek it. Stop the war, not that you completely and comprehensively side with the Zionist occupation regime and participate in these crimes. In Iran, we do not seek to expand the scope of the war, but in case of continuation and escalation of the war against Gaza and Palestine, every possibility is envisaged to further expand the scope of the war.

Details of America’s message to Iran

Question: Mr. Minister, Iran has stated that during the weeks that the war is going on, it has received messages from the United States. Is. America has threatened Iran and has brought its aircraft carriers, soldiers and weapons to the region and has said that these weapons are meant to prevent the spread of war or prevent other parties from participating in this war. Mr. Minister, is it possible for us to know some or parts of the messages that have reached you from America in this regard?

Amir Abdullahian: Yes, we do not have a hidden issue in this regard. America sent several messages to Gaza from the first days of the barbaric invasion of the Zionist regime. One of the subjects of interest to America was Iran’s advice to exercise self-restraint. This was America’s first request to Iran. The second issue is that America emphasizes in its messages that the United States does not seek to expand the scope of the war. In almost all of these messages, America asks Iran to advise the groups in Iraq, Syria, Yemen and the region not to take action against Israel and American bases. If there are groups in Iraq and Syria today who act against the United States according to their diagnosis and decision, they will not get permission from us for this. They are not under the command of Iran. We have clearly said that Iran does not have any group or group of proxies in the region. The Iraqi youth who fought against ISIS and the American occupation during the years 2003 to 2011 and witnessed that more than one million and one hundred thousand Iraqis were martyred since 2003, from 2011 onwards they were ready to confront ISIS, today for They attack American bases in Iraq or Syria for their own independence and to defend their Arab and Muslim brothers and sisters. Yemen also decided to launch rockets towards the occupied city of Eilat to defend the oppressed Palestinian nation and target it with its ballistic missiles and drones. What is happening in southern Lebanon is also a decision made inside Lebanon by the Lebanese resistance. Therefore, they all strive for the national security of their country and the security of the region.

Islamic countries They should arm the resistance

Question: Mr. Minister, your statement is correct, but the other parties believe that Iran has armed these groups. If we consider the Gaza Strip in 1987, when the first intifada flared up, the Palestinians used stones to confront Israeli tanks and military forces. It is true that the action these days is the result of the courage and independent decision of the Palestinian resistance, but the weapon with which Israeli tanks are targeted… the rockets that are launched into Israeli cities… shows that the way of defense The Palestinians have become different from themselves, the way Iraqis defend themselves has become different. Hezbollah used Katyusha against the 1996 invasion, but now it has cruise missiles and its countermeasures have been strengthened. They (the Zionist regime and the western parties) say that Iran is responsible for this, and the president of Iran clearly called for arming the Palestinians and sending weapons to Gaza at the summit of Islamic countries.

Amir Abdullahian: Yes, Mr. Raisi, the president, clearly stated in his speech that if killing, crime and genocide If it does not stop in Gaza and continues, Islamic countries must arm the Palestinian resistance to defend the Palestinian nation and protect Palestinian women and children.

But we are talking about today. Today, the resistance produces and supplies the necessary facilities and weapons. Western officials in their reports state that at least 30% of the weapons they sent to Ukraine in the past two years are being bought and sold in the black market and arms trafficking in different parts of the world. Therefore, providing and producing weapons for resistance is a very simple task. Today, the resistance itself is producing weapons.

Question: The aid sent by Iran to the Gaza Strip and the afflicted nation of Palestine, Iran is always a pioneer in sending aid to different countries in various crises. But sending aid to Palestine faced some obstacles. Did it end here that Iran is not allowed to send aid to the Gaza Strip through the Rafah border? Is this matter certain?

Amir Abdullahian: Since the first week of the war crimes of the regime Zionist against Gaza, we prepared a large humanitarian aid and sent it to Egypt by sea. The Egyptian authorities gave the necessary permits to send our aid. They delivered our aid to UNRWA, but due to the sensitivity of the Israeli regime, UNRWA said that electricity generators were not allowed to enter Gaza. We are currently following up on this matter from the Egyptian brothers. Our urgent request to the Egyptian brothers and authorities is to open the Rafah border regardless of these restrictions and allow the vast humanitarian aid of Muslim countries to reach the oppressed, resistant and powerful Palestinian people.

The international court should deal with the crimes of the Israeli regime

Question: about the nuclear weapons of the Zionist regime; Following the Israeli minister’s threats to attack Gaza with nuclear weapons, Iran has reacted to this issue. Will you follow this thread? Especially the fact that Turkey is also interested in this matter to the same extent, and the Turkish Foreign Minister and even President Erdoğan spoke openly about this and, based on Israel’s admission of possessing this type of weapon, demanded the opening of a case on this matter in the IAEA. became international. Will you, along with other countries in the region, follow up on this issue from the agency? /strong> The international community should focus on two issues in particular. The first issue is the nuclear disarmament of the warmongering Zionist regime. Especially that this regime intends to use nuclear weapons. The International Atomic Energy Agency should seriously enter this case and disarm the occupying Israeli regime. The second issue that helps to establish security and stability in the West Asian region is that the international court to investigate the war crimes of this regime and to try the people who committed crimes during this war and targeted civilians, so that a lesson can be learned. be for other criminals.

A Western official told me that his grandson asked him, “Grandfather, what is the explanation for what is happening in Gaza and Ukraine?” He said that he was unable to answer this question because of the contradiction in our behavior in the West regarding Ukraine and Gaza and the double standards.

See Last year, due to the tragic death of a young Iranian girl, America and some western countries tried to involve Iran in chaos. They formed a fact-finding committee for this issue in the Human Rights Council. Last week, I told the High Commissioner for Human Rights in Geneva what they did in the Human Rights Council due to the death of a young Iranian girl – which naturally affected us too! And now, for the killing of 14,500 women, children and civilians and genocide in Palestine, neither a strong resolution is issued in the Security Council, nor a meeting is held in the Human Rights Council, nor a fact-finding committee to investigate and make decisions about genocide and crimes. The war of the Zionist regime is formed. This is the bitter reality of our world today!

Therefore, legitimate resistance against the occupation regime in accordance with international law is the only understandable language for the Israeli warmongers.

The wound of Palestine is a historical wound that has not been solved by any American plan.

Question: Mr. Minister, regarding Your Excellency mentioned the issue of violating international law and international customs and global values ​​and mocking international law and international norms and international organizations related to the issue of war crimes during this period, with The existence of efforts made by some powers to form a more just world, don’t you think that the last 46 days war in Gaza proved that Iran’s international partners such as Russia and China have a powerful presence or diplomacy in the Middle East or the West They didn’t have Asia, and the field was in the hands of the Westerners, who all come together in solidarity with Israel and support it and demand the continuation of the war? Don’t you think that the performance of your international partners during this war was disappointing?

Amir Abdullahian : In the last 75 years, the United States has tried to support the Israeli regime as a child that it must always support. But the (events of) different decades about Palestine showed that no American plan can help solve this old crisis in the region without respecting the rights of the Palestinian nation. What happened on the 7th of October proved to the world and theorists of international relations and political science in the world that the existence of new crises such as the war in Ukraine will never heal deep and historical crises and old wounds in the world. It will not be forgotten.

The wound of Palestine is a historical wound that has not been solved by any American plan. So far, China and Russia have basically not made any active and productive intervention in the Palestinian case, since we appreciated the positions of China and Russia in vetoing the resolutions that were supposed to be approved in the Security Council by the initiative of the United States. But our demand from China, Russia and other international actors is to see the facts and understand the nature and consequences of the occupation. The root of the current situation is not in the region of October 7. Rather, it is 75 years of Israeli occupation.

The Islamic Republic of Iran tried to stop war crimes at various levels, including by adopting an active diplomacy approach. Sending continuous humanitarian aid, preventing the forced migration of Palestinians and residents of Gaza, take active measures. The initiatives and proposals that led to the meeting of the leaders of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the Arab League and the BRICS summit and other initiatives in this context are still being seriously pursued by us with the help of other countries. We believe that the rule of an occupied territory applies to the occupied territory until the inhabitants of that area leave the occupation and do not acquire the geography of their historical territory. Algeria was under French occupation for decades, but finally one day it was released from French occupation and the Algerian people gained their independence. When some people tried to call Israel’s crimes in Gaza Israel’s right to self-defense and change the place of oppressor and oppressor, we said clearly, on the day that Germany occupied France, you gave the right of self-defense to the German who occupied France. Did you consider or did you consider the right of legitimate defense for France? It is not possible to do the same logic in one place and do the opposite in another place. Now there are two paths for the region and the main activists; The first path: the humanitarian cease-fire becomes a sustainable cease-fire, the humanitarian blockade is lifted, and within the framework of the political agreement that is made, the Palestinian people and the people of Gaza decide on their future. I say clearly in your program: America and Israel will not be able to make decisions for the Palestinian people. For this reason, the Islamic Republic of Iran believes that the root and basic solution to the crisis in Palestine is to hold a referendum among the main residents of Palestine with the participation of Jews, Christians and Muslims. Once, after 75 years of occupation of Palestine, the international community should give the Palestinians the opportunity to determine their own destiny; Jewish Palestinians, Christian Palestinians and Muslim Palestinians. War is not the solution. War will never be able to fulfill Netanyahu’s dream of wiping out Hamas. Jewish studies are definite. We do not seek to expand the scope of the war, but we will never be indifferent to the continuation of the war, the escalation of the war by America and Israel, and the expansion of the scope of the war. We recommend that all parties take advantage of this opportunity now and replace the war, crime and genocide in Gaza with political initiatives and replace the further expansion of the scope of the war in the region.

Israel has shown in the last 75 years that it does not understand any other language than the language of power

Question: You raised Iran’s point of view on the final solution in Palestine. Almost all countries talk about a two-state solution, even US President Biden, when he came to the region last year, said that we will talk about a two-state solution, but not in the near future. Regardless of Israel’s position or how it deals with the issue of a two-state solution, everyone is talking about a two-state solution, but now you brought up an issue that Iran had talked about in the past years. You said that the solution to the formation of a single country is composed of multiple ethnicities based on democracy and elections. Do the Minister recommend that the Palestinians, political elites, and Palestinian groups take a single country solution? Do you as a representative of Iran recommend that the Palestinians do not seek the two-country solution and follow the solution of the single country?

Amir Abdollahian : First, the Israeli regime has been dreaming of years and decades from Nile to Euphrates. In recent years and months, based on the authentic evidence of Israel, the idea of ​​forced migration of Gaza residents to the Sinai desert of Egypt and the forced coastal migration – through extensive settlements – into parts of Jordan and forming a single Palestinian government in parts of Jordan And followed Egypt. President al -Sisi explicitly opposed it at the Cairo International Summit, saying that the Palestinians should stay in their land, but so far the Israeli regime is seeking forced migration. It is now pursuing a policy in Gaza, with a complementary step by moving the inhabitants from northern Gaza to southern Gaza and in the next step from southern Gaza into the Egyptian Sinai desert.

Secondly, Israel has shown in the last 75 years that it does not understand another language except the language of power.

thirdly , Throughout history, the occupation of the phenomenon has not been and is not. Cannot be legitimized to an occupied land and the power of the occupation.

a famous Western media told me: “Why in the situation most states The world of Israel is recognized, Iran does not recognize? ” My answer was: The Palestinian land does not belong to most of the world’s governments. Belongs to the Palestinian people. The Palestinian people must decide on the future of their destiny. We respect whatever decision that the Palestinian people make for their future. Iran’s solution is also a completely democratic, referendum -based solution, under the supervision of the United Nations and with global participation. We say in our solution, to hold a referendum, to conduct a census before holding a referendum among all authentic Palestinians anywhere in the world, both Jewish, Christian and Muslim. Formed a fund in the United Nations to provide census and referendum by volunteer governments. In this referendum, the views of the Palestinian people, including Jews, Christians and Muslims, whatever the result and respected Palestinian people, the Islamic Republic of Iran will respect that democratic path and democratic choice.

but the Israeli regime after seventy-two years of occupation showed in the past 46 days that the power of the criminals of the developer is the expansionist and the democratic and democratic gestures Talking about democracy for the Israeli regime is the bitter humor of contemporary history.

US support for the Israeli regime must incur its strict consequences

Question : The final question of the Minister, the Palestinian issue, which the Islamic Republic has always supported and has been boycotted because of this support and has suffered all these hardships because Becomes a global issue and into the subject of human justice; We see that many nations of the world are demonstrating, many of the world’s elites have begun to change their opinion, now a new generation in Europe and Latin America is talking about justice on the subject of Palestine, politicians and artists. What is Iran’s view of this? The whole world had stopped supporting the Palestinian issue, and Iran, along with some countries, was in the minority in its decision to support the Palestinian resistance and armed struggle. The Palestinian issue has now become a human and global issue, and the way it looks like a look at the events of the apartheid regime in South Africa. Do you consider this transformation a strategic achievement or do you consider it an emotional reaction caused by flooding in Gaza?

Amir Abdullahian : Naturally, today the Palestinian issue has become an international issue. The crimes and genocide of Israel’s last 46 days against Gaza and the coast and the direct, public and explicit association of the United States with Israel in these crimes will have many heavy effects on the region and on the international arena. Do not doubt that the Palestinian issue will be very different after the recent Israeli crimes in Gaza. It is not possible to say that tomorrow there are a few governments and nations with Palestine, but a wide range of people, elites, public opinion and governments moved to protect the rights of the Palestinian people. Killing 6,000 children and several thousand women has no meaning but genocide. Its effects on the international arena and the Palestinian case are strongly in favor of Palestine and to the detriment of the Israeli regime and its supporters. Through your program, I would like to tell America to separate his path from these crimes and genocide until it is too late, and he does not write Netanyahu’s loss and his crimes anymore. Part of what happened on October 7 is the result of extremist extremism and Netanyahu. They have to pay for this behavior. If the US wants to pay Netanyahu’s behavior, this is a choice that they must accept. I once again emphasize that the current ceasefire has provided a political opportunity to avoid the region, and the United States must choose between continuing the situation and avoiding the war or continuing a worse situation in the region. If the United States does not seek to spread the scope of war according to the messages it has given to Iran, it must choose the first option, otherwise it should be difficult to choose Israel if it chooses to support Israeli genocide. Endeavor.
